Medicare Chronic Conditions Warehouse (CCW) 5% Sample
UMB Dataset- Alternate Title(s)
- CCW
- Description
This UMB dataset available from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Chronic Condition Data Warehouse (CCW) consists of a 5% random sample of all Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries with claims and assessment data linked across the continuum of care with matching, deduplications, and merging of files already processed. The CMS CCW includes variables for 27 chronic conditions which identify additional chronic health, mental health and substance abuse issues. Developed to facilitate researchers in the identification of cohorts of beneficiaries with specific conditions, the variables are the result of algorithms that searched the CMS administrative claims data for specific diagnosis, MS-DRG, and procedure codes. It is maintained by the Pharmaceutical Research Computing Center within the Department of Pharmaceutical Health Services Research at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy. The Center provides computer programming, data management, pharmaceutical classification, and analytical support for health services research and evaluation.
