IPRO last week unveiled “Pellucid”, a unique database of performance data covering hospitals across the USA with records as far back as 2004. Much of the data is free to use in any research or public reporting project, and can be access at https://ipro.org/pelluicid
Pellucid contains data from several sources and over twenty unique datasets, all linked by a common provider identifier and aggregated geographically for research and public health purposes. Pellucid powers WhyNotTheBest.org, New York’s Hospital Profiles, and the Illinois Health Care Report Card, among others.
