Turning Price Transparency Data into Reliable Market Intelligence: A Webinar with the Health Care Cost Institute

Price transparency data holds enormous promise for healthcare organizations seeking competitive intelligence and market insights. But anyone who has worked with Machine-Readable Files knows that promise comes with significant challenges. The files are massive, the structures are inconsistent, and turning raw data into reliable analysis requires navigating countless pitfalls.

That's why we're excited to partner with the Health Care Cost Institute (HCCI) for an upcoming webinar focused on practical techniques for working with price transparency data.

Data Structures and Formats: Understanding how payer MRFs are organized, what fields matter most, and how to navigate the variations between different payers' file formats.

Common Pitfalls to Avoid: Learn from the mistakes others have made. We'll walk through the data quality issues, interpretation errors, and analytical traps that can lead to misleading conclusions.

Analysis Best Practices: Proven approaches for transforming raw MRF data into market intelligence you can trust. From data validation to rate normalization, we'll share techniques that produce reliable, actionable insights.

Real-World Examples: See actual data examples that illustrate both the effectiveness and limitations of payer-published rates. Understanding what the data can and cannot tell you is essential for sound analysis.
