Public Use Dashboard

This newly published public use dashboard enables members of the healthcare community, from researchers and policy leaders to providers and payers, to learn more about the types of healthcare services provided in WA, including their outcomes and associated costs. The release of this summary dashboard is WA-APCD's most recent milestone to foster insight regarding variations and disparities in healthcare use and quality and to support price transparency.

WA-APCD Snapshot

The WA-APCD includes longitudinal claims data for more than 5.5 million Washingtonians, or nearly 70% of the population. Our WA-APCD Snapshot delivers key metadata (or data about the data) to end users, policymakers, and others who have questions about how much data is available, which health plans are providing it, and how the data has evolved over time.

Data Requests and Collaboration

We work with data requestors across the healthcare spectrum to control costs and improve the health and well-being of Washingtonians. Data access is one way we do that. Sharing WA-APCD data leads to insightful analysis and reporting, and greater understanding of the quality, cost and value of healthcare services provided in Washington.
