What's New in Massachusetts Health Care

  • In this month’s DataMatters, we explore CHIA’s recent publication on medical spending trends across Massachusetts.

    This first-time analysis delves into the relationship between community characteristics and total medical expenses by insurance population and service categories. 

  • The Annual Report on the Performance of the Massachusetts Health Care System examines trends in costs, coverage, and quality indicators to inform policymaking.

    This year’s report also includes a new chapter on health care affordability.

  • CHIA’s Hospital Profiles provide information on acute and non-acute hospitals and allows for comparisons against statewide performance and peer cohorts.

    A new interactive dashboard lets users filter information by individual hospital, hospital type, and health system.

  • CHIA has published the results from the Quality Measure Catalog survey.

    This survey assesses payer adherence to a set of high-priority quality measures recommended for global budget-based risk contracts by the EOHHS Quality Measure Alignment Taskforce.

  • CHIA is currently contacting some participants from the MHIS 2023 for follow-up questions.
