Webinar: Introduction to Indiana's Open Medicaid Data

 

Wednesday, October 18th

3:30pm to 4:30pm EDT

 

Over 1.4 million Hoosiers currently receive health care coverage from the Medicaid programs administered by Indiana’s Family and Social Services Administration. The data generated by this pool of members provides a wealth of information on the Medicaid population and the providers that serve them. To support better data-driven decisions in health care, this Medicaid information will be made freely and openly available via a public data hub.

 

In this webinar, we’ll discuss the newly available open Medicaid data.

 

We will cover:

o Why Indiana is making Medicaid data available

o Better understanding of Medicaid's members, providers, and claims

o The individual datasets and the subject areas they cover

The State of Indiana's Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA), in partnership with the state's Management Performance Hub (MPH), proposes to de-identify a substantial amount of Indiana Medicaid healthcare information and release it to the public, with the goal of demonstrating its potential usefulness in Population Health.

 

In conjunction with this effort, the Indiana Chapter of HIMSS is pleased to present the 2017 Indiana Medicaid Data Challenge, to spark the interest and ecosystem to leverage this unprecedented level and quality of de-identified healthcare information. At this event, hosted by Regenstrief Institute, teams will compete to develop and to demonstrate the most innovative and impactful utilization of this data.

 

GENERAL TERMS & CONDITIONS

  • Participants will be responsible for their own costs of travel, lodging and food (except for lunch at event).
  • Participation will be open to the general public. Healthcare providers and academic institutions are particularly encouraged to apply.
    • There will be no admission or other cost to participate.

    • Participation will be limited to 30 teams of no more than 5 members each and 50 observers, or up to 200 total registrants, logistics permitting.

  • Participants retain ownership of all IP developed, except where incorporating IP of other parties.
  • Participants consent to be photographed/recorded at event for use by IN-HIMSS or sponsors.

 

WHO MAY PARTICIPATE

 

The Challenge is open to individuals and teams of individuals (each, a “Participant”).

 

 

HOW IT WORKS

 

Participants will be eligible to develop solutions for one of two Challenges: a data visualization challenge or a data analysis challenge.

 

Data visualization – We are looking for the most creative use of this data to tell a story using data visuals. This could be built into an application, using Tableau, or in some other data visualization tool. We want to hear the story and see creative ways to visualize and interact with this information.

 

Data analysis – Are you up to the challenge to explore the potential from sharing Medicaid data? If so, we want to see you apply analysis and statistical modeling skills to develop new insights that have the potential to impact the health of Hoosiers or the administration of Medicaid. Evaluate multiple Medicaid datasets and even bring in third party data - Let your data science ideas flow!
