Agenda - AHRQ Data Competencies to Support Decision Makers
Thank you to all the participants at this year's event.
Engage with AHRQ Director Gopal Khanna, M.B.A., HHS Chief Data Officer Mona Siddiqui, M.D., M.P.H., and Bipartisan Policy Center Chief Medical Advisor Anand Parekh, M.D., to share your perspective on how decision makers at the state and local level use data to improve health care. This interactive session will include an overview of AHRQ data resources such as the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project and the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey, and it will be focused on identifying gaps and opportunities in existing data resources and co-creating ideas together to address them. Moderated discussions will address questions such as:
How do you use data to make community-based improvements and identify challenges that need to be addressed in order to solve the opioid crisis?
What do you use now and what data will you need in the future to understand variation in health insurance coverage and affordability?
What are the key data sources and challenges in understanding prescription drug affordability?
How can data support the evolution to value-based payment?
Come share your experiences on these complex issues in healthcare delivery, which require the integration of programs and data across the federal, state, and local levels.
Below the agenda, you will find speaker bios.
