Presentation by Lynn Blewett, "Assessing State Administrative Data to Monitor Health Care Reform" at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Data Council Meeting on September 9, 2012. 

Dr. Blewett briefed the Council on highlights of a preliminary report from an ASPE funded study entitled Assessing the Potential of State Administrative Data to Monitor Health Care Reform.

The purpose of this project is to use the experience of leading States on Exchange implementation to develop a framework for thinking about State-level data required for evaluation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) with a specific focus on new administrative data from the Exchange. The project also offers examples of specific administrative data that will be needed from the Exchange for annual reporting and evaluation, and discusses where and how those reports might be produced.
