Case Study: California's Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD) achieves on-demand, visualized health data access and faster analysis with OpenGov

California’s Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD) Delivers Easier Health Data Analyses with OpenGov

California’s Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD) manages California’s healthcare infrastructure data and faced the challenge of helping academics, legislators, hospital staff, and journalists access reliable financial and utilization data to address rising healthcare costs and an aging population. Much of the information was trapped in large, hard-to-use spreadsheets that required specialist analysts to extract insights, slowing research and decision-making.

OSHPD partnered with OpenGov to deploy the Smart Government Cloud Citizen Engagement solution, delivering visual, transparent, and drillable online reports that users can query from their desktops. The platform provides on-demand access to hospital finances, staffing, payer mix, and utilization metrics, eliminating manual report compilation, enabling deeper, faster analysis, and empowering policymakers and providers to make better-informed decisions.
