A recent Manatt Health white paper describes an eight-domain framework for the development of state health data organizations (HDOs) to inform policymaking and regulatory decision-making. In a conversation with Healthcare Innovation last week, Kevin McAvey, managing director at Manatt Health, spoke about the growing potential of state HDOs.
McAvey has been working on building state-level health data analytics capabilities for years. He started as an all-payer claims database (APCD) programmer at the Center for Health Information and Analysis in Massachusetts and was involved in developing CHIA’s cost growth benchmark reporting. He also has participated in national APCD organizations. He has been at Manatt Health for eight years, helping states across the country develop their health data ecosystems.
