Data-Driven Interactive Dashboard Breaks New Ground With Over 400 Healthcare Datasets Delivered in an Easy-To-Use Consumer Web Experience

The breakthrough site, which is powered by the Socrata Data Experience Cloud, is publicly available at .
The Health System Measurement Project optimizes the delivery of critical U.S. health system indicators to policymakers, providers, and the public, providing contextual, data-driven information to enhance the understanding of changes in the health care system. The groundbreaking performance dashboard organizes over 400 datasets sourced from across the federal government in ten topical areas, including access to care, cost and affordability, prevention and health information technology.
Users of the site can then explore different measures in each topic, and drill down on each measure to compare trends across several dimensions such as year, geographic region, or population characteristics including age, sex, income level, and insurance coverage status. For example, through this project, a user can monitor the percentage of people who have delayed needed health care due to cost, and track hospital readmission rates.
This first-of-its-kind performance dashboard, also represents several breakthrough technology innovations in cloud-optimized data modeling, user experience design, and metadata-driven information architecture. The result is a new generation of data-fueled interactive experiences that abstract the complexity of data exploration through a user-friendly, Consumer Web experience.
The enabling technology platform supports several key objectives:
The new system uses a flexible metadata-driven architecture to provide a cost-effective solution that is easy to modify and update and is ubiquitously accessible.
