Data Analysis and Reporting

Research and Reporting Priorities

• GMCB Research and Reporting Priorities 2020-2021
• GMCB Data Analytic Plan Recommendations (produced in 2012)

GMCB's analytic team strives to provide high quality and timely information to support the Board, its staff, and the public, balancing the wide variety of questions that these data could answer with a deep focus to support the Board's regulatory duties.

Public Reports

• Enrollment Trend Report
• Expenditure Analysis
• OneCare Vermont ACO Network Provider Participation
• Patient Migration

GMCB produces public reports that provide statistics describing aspects of the Vermont health care system. VHCURES is the primary source for these analyses, and therefore only data submitted to VHCURES is included.
