Finance
|
• $8.3M annually from state general budget • Additional $3M grant from LEI for 2018-2019 to improve external data sharing • Match grants (~$10M over 4 years 2019-2023) from CMS (90% or 75% reimbursed) |
Data Sources
|
• Wide ranging data from the State of Indiana including education (K-12, higher ed), workforce (wages, industries), public safety (ISP, crashes, EMS runs), health (Medicaid, DCS, ER discharge, vital records) • Searchable data dictionary and metadata at https://www.in.gov/mph/1225.htm • Open data hub freely available to all via http://hub.mph.in.gov |
Data Access | • Open data hub freely available to all via http://hub.mph.in.gov • More sensitive data goes through a process including a data sharing agreement and security review. Formal process documented and data request forms available at https://www.in.gov/mph/935.htm • New data request portal shows progress back to the requestor for any data request made: https://request.mph.in.gov/ • Data is limited to upstream state agency providing “green light” to MPH to share data. Pre-approved data agreements exist for education, workforce, and Medicaid data |
Tech Capabilities | • Enhanced ability to link individuals across various data sets • External entities can share PII to MPH. MPH can link to those individuals to state data and share information back in an aggregate fashion, while ensuring security privacy are held to the fullest. This is primarily used for program evaluation (e.g., are workforce programs truly improving wages) • Enhanced Research Environment (ERE) is a secure virtual environment whereby users can access industry leading data transformation/visualization tools to conduct research. Users will be enabled to conduct research on their own datasets as well as those that have been provided by the state. |
Projects | • Opioids – Data linked at the individual level across 10+ state agencies. External researchers integrated into MPH team on $0 contracts for mutual benefit • Education/Workforce – Longitudinal record between K-12, higher ed, and workforce supporting state and external CBOs • Government transparency – Broad BI skillset transforming government PeopleSoft financials into citizen facing dashboards |
Future Focus | Opportunity to demonstrate linkage of State SdoH data (Education/Workforce) with clinical data to drive insights into population health |
Talent Development | • No direct training/education programs • MPH does host multiple interns and fellows every year • Unique “Employee Interchange” program allows for Indiana state employees (includes public university employees) to join MPH for $0 contract for mutual benefit |
Data Sharing Agreements | Many agreements in place; however, they are use case specific: • Regenstrief Institute • Indiana Biosciences Research Institute (in process) • United Way • Indiana Business Research Center • Polis • EmployIndy • Goodwill • Notre Dame/Lab for Economic Opportunities • …dozens of additional one-to-one relationships |
