How do you decide what type of data you need?

A significant amount of data are made publicly available by the Georgia APCD that should address the information needs of many Georgians, including on topics of healthcare cost, quality, and population health (refer to Public Data).  For organizations that are familiar with analysis of medical claims and have the necessary security and methodological expertise, Non-Public "claims-level" data can address questions not covered by public data releases. For other organizations looking to use the APCD, custom reports are a great option.
