Sumario: | The goal of health economics and outcomes research is to improve healthcare decision making. In the absence of high-value clinical data, the availability and quality of administrative healthcare data could be vital in the generation of evidence for orthotics and prosthetics services. The purpose of this article is to provide a stronger understanding of administrative healthcare data analysis, an area that has been scarcely examined within prosthetics and orthotics despite the wealth of information available within such data. Examples of common datasets in this arena currently available are provided, as well as an overview of the limitations and advantages of studies utilizing such datasets. |
