Maximizing Value for the Long Tail of Health Data
Rapid Development of Mission Critical Data Apps at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
The Challenge: CMS has embarked on an ambitious strategy to harness the power of data to guide decisions, reduce fraud, increase transparency, and improve services. They needed an enterprise approach to deliver mission-critical data applications and support a wide array of disparate data initiatives.
The Solution: CMS uses Socrata to rapidly prototype, develop, and deploy data-driven applications on mission-critical activities such HealthCare.gov and other CMS sites. Data owners and programs across the organization use Socrata to release public data and share data much more effectively with researchers, industry, policy-makers, and others.
"I just wanted to send a short note thanking you for all the incredible work you guys did building out the Socrata data platform for the physician data. In particular I think the look-up tool is fabulous and a great advertisement for agile development and productive collaboration between contractors and the federal government." Niall Brennan Director - Office of Enterprise Management Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
The Impact: • CMS has vastly increased the reach and impact of their
data with over 50 million views and downloads of CMS data. • CMS APIs have served over 35 million API requests. • CMS has saved time and money through an agile, API-
driven approach to app development and deployment.
Medicaid Uses Agile Approach to Data-Driven Performance Management
The Impact: • Performance data is collected from states in a consistent format. • Senior staff can answer questions quickly for themselves rather
than make one-off data requests to staff. • CMS saved hundreds of thousands of dollars versus using a
traditional approach to developing a one-off custom solution.
The Challenge: Medicaid needed a solution to collect, track and report performance measures from all 50 states, and they needed it up and running in less than six weeks. They called Socrata.
The Solution: Socrata worked with the Medicaid team to rapidly develop and prototype a simple form based system for collecting monthly reports of performance indicator data from the states. The team implemented an intuitive dashboard that provides senior Medicaid officials with an “at-a-glance” view of key indicators to track progress, make decisions, and report impact.

Agenda
! Socrata = democratizing data from publishers and empowering consumers to use it (publishers => consumers)
--- don’t have to rely on techies and data nerds to get at data and solve problems ! Graphical representation w/ pub/con archetypes
! Dive into available data sources and data sets ! S/L, Fed, NGO, + (commercial, QS, everyone)
! Dive into users and use cases ! Show examples of full-on websites
but also API-enabled data viz ! Quick ways to get data from publisher to end users
(patient, decision maker, policy maker)
• Dept of Health: Should we invest in X or Y in Z?
Consumer: What doctor should I pick for my knee replacement?
Clinician: What drug should I prescribe?
Nonprofit: Which community will benefit most from this grant award?
Data sources and types of data in blobs all around the question
