In the most recent episode of the GTRI Tech Connect series, Principal Research Scientist Dr. Jon Duke discusses the groundbreaking Georgia All Payer Claims Database (APCD) project. APCD is a state initiative that centralizes health care claim data to improve access, quality, and cost of care for Georgians.

Sponsored by the Georgia Office of Health Strategy and Coordination, the APCD aggregates over 1.5 billion medical records, 750 million pharmacy records, and even dental claims data from health insurers across the state. This massive, de-identified dataset allows researchers to address healthcare challenges at an unprecedented scale, from maternal and behavioral health to rural healthcare access.
