With it Medstat will build and support the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP), a family of databases and related software comprising a national information resource of patient-level healthcare data.
The databases facilitate research on a wide range of health policy issues including: access to health care, cost and quality of health services and medical treatment outcomes at the national, state and local levels.
Thomson Medstat will also play a key supporting role in developing the National Healthcare Quality Report and the National Healthcare Disparities Report for Congress. These reports, last issued in December 2005, include a broad set of performance measures that document baselines and trends which shed light on the quality of healthcare in the United States and differences among vulnerable populations.
