The Arkansas Healthcare Transparency Initiative (HTI) was established in 2015 to provide a source of informative healthcare data to support consumers, researchers, and policymakers. The Arkansas All-Payer Claims Database (APCD) is one of the tools in the HTI used to accomplish these efforts. Since its inception through the Arkansas Healthcare Transparency Initiative Act, the APCD has developed into a robust data asset used to inform many aspects of the healthcare landscape in Arkansas. Pursuant to the Act, a report on HTI operations is submitted biennially to the Arkansas General Assembly. Highlights from the 2022-2023 report include:
- An update on the entities that submit data and the types of data they submit.
- A data request summary for 2022-2023.
- Examples of projects that rely on HTI data.
- An overview of the national movement to support and leverage state APCDs.
