"For the first time, counties across Colorado can evaluate their health care costs compared to 'expected costs' based on overall health status of the patients from their county. Colorado's All Payer Claims Database (APCD) now includes severity of illness adjustments that measure patient health status, an important tool to understand variations in cost and utilization. Additional reports also released this month include costs to provide care to asthma and diabetic patients, and a breakdown of health care spending categorized by overall patient health status."
