environment for qualified public and private healthcare

The remediation of COVID-19 has been hampered by limited data.
Researchers need more than daily counts of diagnoses and tests to
truly understand the disease. Given the complexity of COVID-19,
analyses require comprehensive, timely, and statistically
meaningful data. Most COVID-19 data are limited to static reports
on the number of new cases, overall cases, deaths and geographical
impact. While useful in preparing for resource allocation, it
provides no insight into the disease progression and the efficacy
of interventions––the type of data the medical community needs to
take action.
Change Healthcare processes billions of U.S. medical and
pharmacy claims every year, now including those related to
COVID-19. Claims provide a more comprehensive view beyond the test
or diagnosis, including other diagnoses, past care, and social
determinants of health. Additionally, claims are coded by medical
professionals without relying on self-reported patient data. Market
Insights: COVID-19 Analytic Data Sets isolates claims into three
unique data sets, all of which are de-identified and contractually
permissioned: claims with explicit COVID-19 test and diagnosis
codes; claims with codes identified in the February CDC interim
billing guidelines; and claims with respiratory management
diagnosis codes. These datasets are comprehensive, timely, and
statistically meaningful for a variety of research initiatives.
“COVID researchers need more comprehensive and timely data in an
environment where advanced data science can be responsibly
performed,” said Tim Suther, senior vice president of Data
Solutions at Change Healthcare. “These data sets enable robust
analysis by the country’s leading medical data scientists to
understand actual disease progression, the effectiveness of various
interventions, and impacts to the healthcare system overall.”
