Washington State Analytic Support Initiative
In 2023, the Peterson Center on Healthcare and Gates Ventures, awarded a $1.7 million grant to the Washington State Health Care Authority (HCA) to support its partnership with the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), an independent population health research organization based at the University of Washington School of Medicine.
The grant allowed the Washington State HCA to establish the Analytic Support Initiative, which combines in-house healthcare expertise, state data, policy and the analytic capabilities of IMHE. The Analytic Support Initiative provides actionable data to the state’s Health Care Transparency Board and offers insights and evidence to guide the Board’s recommendations to lower healthcare costs.
