How to use the dataset

This dataset contains measures that evaluate the quality of care delivered by Health Homes for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). With this dataset, you can get an overview of how a health home is performing in terms of quality. You can use this data to compare different health homes and their respective service offerings.

The data used to create this dataset was collected from Medicaid Data Mart, QARR Member Level Files, and New York State Delivery System Incentive Program (DSRIP) Data Warehouse sources.

In order to use this dataset effectively, you should start by looking at the columns provided. These include: Measurement Year; Health Home Name; Domain; Sub Domain; Measure Description; Age Category; Denominator; Rate; Level of Significance; Indicator. Each column provides valuable insight into how a particular health home is performing in various measurements of healthcare quality.

When examining this data, it is important to remember that many variables are included in any given measure and that changes may have occurred over time due to varying factors such as population or financial resources available for healthcare delivery. Furthermore, changes in policy may also affect performance over time so it is important to take these things into account when evaluating the performance of any given health home from one year to the next or when comparing different health homes on a specific measure or set of indicators over time

Research Ideas

• Using this dataset, state governments can evaluate the effectiveness of their health home programs by comparing the performance across different domains and subdomains.
• Healthcare providers and organizations can use this data to identify areas for improvement in quality of care provided by health homes and strategies to reduce disparities between individuals receiving care from health homes.
• Researchers can use this dataset to analyze how variations in cultural context, geography, demographics or other factors impact delivery of quality health home services across different locations

The purpose of the project is to detect unreported Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipient admissions to Title XIX institutions. A file containing SSN's of SSI recipients (all eligible individuals and members of eligible couples in current pay) will be matched against the Health Care Financing Administration's (HCFA) Minimum Data Set (MDS) database which contains admission, discharge, re-entry and assessment information about persons in Title XIX facilities for all 50 States and Washington, D.C. This database is updated monthly. The match will produce an output file containing MDS data pertinent to SSI eligibility on matched records. This data will be compared back to the SSR data to generate alerts to the Field Offices for their actions.
