New data tool will help Accountable Communities of Health measure progress on opioid use projects.

The Healthier Washington data team, Analytics, Research and Measurement (ARM), has just launched a new data tool, the “Opioid Use Disorder Treatment for Medicaid Population Dashboard.”

The dashboard will help the nine Accountable Communities of Health (ACHs) measure progress as they address opioid use in their regions. Opioid use disorder is one of eight projects specified in the Healthier Washington Medicaid Transformation.

In this dashboard, designers focused on measuring how providers are doing in treating opioid use disorder, and how enrollees are faring in treatment. The dashboard will be updated every quarter.

The ARM team will be adding prevention indicators to this dashboard in the next few months.
