Standard Data Sets

Looking for a data set you can analyze on your own? Data sets are a great solution for researchers, payers, providers, or other entities with analytic capabilities that want data files they can use to conduct their own analyses. CIVHC has developed four standard data sets that can typically be delivered within three weeks of completing the application.

Overview

Standard data sets from the CO APCD are available for organizations who have analytic capability and need access to comprehensive health care claims data in order to achieve their strategic or research goals. These data sets are large (approx. 2.5+ GB), and require secure storage and strong data analytic capacity – they cannot be manipulated in Excel. Recipients will need to submit an appropriate data management plan to ensure proper security and data safety protocols exist in order to receive these files. Smaller datasets are available by custom request.
