For example:• Medicare and Medicaid data - for initial health spending and health system delivery measures• CDC’s Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System or Ohio Family Health Survey – for data on wellness, access tocare and possibly patient satisfaction.Measures from Other State Level EffortsThe core team also recommends obtaining and tracking proposed measures from other major state-level efforts in Ohiosuch as the Office of Healthy Ohio, the Ohio Patient Safety Institute, Unified Long Term Care Budget Planning and thehealth- related work of the Ohio Business Roundtable.
