Data Sources	IHA is responsible for “Patient Information Reports” as part of State law IC 16-21-6-6 and collects both inpatient and outpatient administrative claims data. All licensed hospitals (Acute, Rehab, Psychiatric, and • IHA is responsible for “Patient Information Reports” as part of State law IC 16-21-6-6 and collects both inpatient and outpatient administrative claims data. All licensed hospitals (Acute, Rehab, Psychiatric, and Long-Term) are required to comply with the code. IHA is responsible for all data validation efforts and provides flat files of cleansed data monthly to the Indiana Department of Health. IDOH uses this data to append its Hospital Epidemiology dataset for research and public policy purposes and makes a limited dataset available at https://www.in.gov/isdh/20624.htm. Additionally, IHA then makes an expanded data set available quarterly to its members through a variety of platforms: • INHDS Platform – a web portal designed to make submission of 837 claims information efficient. The portal allows for SFTP functionality as well as on the fly edits to ensure data integrity by membership. • DataLink – a Tableau based reporting system that includes over 42 standard reports that fall into three broad categories: o Business Development and Marketing – DataLink provides views into market share reporting, patient in and out migration, and segmentation of that data by key service lines and payor categories. o Patient Safety & Quality – DataLink has several reporting modules around Sepsis outcomes, Suicide Ideations, Social Determinants of Health, and Health equity topics. Also included are external data sources that help IHA members understand their organization’s performance on CMS Quality Programs. o Emergency Preparedness – DataLink was heavily revised and used during the COVID-19 Pandemic to provide insights into hospital and emergency preparedness district reporting. This enabled better collaboration among IHA members to care and prepare for potential patient surges. • Dimensions – Dimensions is designed to give analysts more control and ability to query the IHA patient dataset. Essentially, it is a web enabled pivotable that sits atop the patient data warehouse and allows for in depth querying and filtering abilities. • ChimeMaps – Similarly, ChimeMaps uses the same dataset, but applies a GIS Mapping tool to it to provide hospital analysts visualizations of patient migration patterns and potential locations for service expansions. Additionally, many analysts use ChimeMaps to determine hospital service areas by leveraging its Drive Time report, showing what zip codes within given radius can be reached in 10, 15, and 30 minutes. • Flat Files – IHA also supports member hospitals Business Intelligence teams by making the dataset available via flat file. Members are able to define the dataset by geography, hospital, or request the whole state. • Besides the Administrative Claims dataset that state statute requires to be collected, IHA also works with voluntary collection efforts to help apprise membership of benchmarks and actionable data. • Human Resources – Members can access an annual salary survey of 200 of the most common roles in a hospital to ensure market competitiveness. IHA partners with an outside organization to provide this service. Accounting and Finance – Members can access a reporting module called Databank to have applicable benchmarks for key financial metrics, including average Days cash on hand, Accounts Payable, Length of stay, etc.
Data Access	• Data is available for active IHA members, per the organization’s data use agreement. IHA is exploring ways to enhance more public facing data sharing. • Administrative Claims Data is sent to IDOH monthly. IDOH makes this data available publicly at https://www.in.gov/isdh/20624.htm • IHA does provide a consumer facing tool around healthcare affordability. IHA operates https://www.mycareINsight.org, in which the top 100 diagnosis-related groups (DRGs) and Top 200 most commonly occurring outpatient procedures are aggregated and provided a pricing range from IHA members.
Tech Capabilities	• Tableau reporting system – DataLink available for members • Additional BI platforms – Dimensions (Pivotable analysis) and ChimeMaps (GIS Mapping), DataBank (Financial and HR reporting) • INHDS (Indiana Hospital Data Submission) – Data Submission Portal and ETL efforts
Projects	mycareINsite (http://www.mycareinsight.org/) – Price Transparency website for public consumption Development of agnostic data collection platform to ease member data lift. Currently, IHA collects information from members through a variety of means (Excel, SurveyMonkey, Submission of the IDS dataset, ad-hoc Requests). IHA is seeking a way to consolidate its collection process to utilize best practices and make data collection easier for members. Special topics: • Rural Healthcare • Suicide Ideation and Self Harm Reporting • Health Equity Social Determinants of Health
Future Focus	Exploring opportunity to expand outpatient data collection
Talent Development	No direct training/education programs IHA does host multiple interns and fellows every year
Data Sharing Agreements	• DUA established with all licensed hospitals in state • Indiana Department of Health • INPC (Currently in process with IHIE. Joining the INPC would enable IHA to potentially have more insights into sepsis outcomes as well as benefitting the INPC with comprehensive claims coverage from the entire state.)
Programs/ Publications	Harmony Magazine, Quarterly release to membership
