CIVHC is working to increase transparency and

accountability in Colorado’s health care system by making

comparative cost, quality and safety data for all providers,

health plans and medical facilities available to consumers

and businesses statewide. As of December 2013, the APCD

includes 2009-2012 historic claims data representing over

2.5 million Coloradans. Having access to this information,

gives Coloradans the ability to choose the best, most

affordable health care for themselves and their families,

and gives providers incentives to contain costs and ensure

consistently high-quality care.

Aggregated price and quality indicators for commonly used

medical services will be available on the public website,

www.cohealthdata.org on a provider-group name basis.

This information will allow providers, health plans and

patients to compare price and quality across physician

groups.


Physicians and physician groups can use the APCD to

identify opportunities to control costs and improve care by

understanding their patient population health utilization

and costs associated with care for their patient population.
