I believe in the untapped value of CMS data — comprehensive, public, and largely underutilized.

These datasets cover every provider type in the country: hospitals, nursing homes, dialysis centers, hospice, home health, rehab, and more. They span quality, outcomes, utilization, financials, and market reach — updated regularly, with up to seven years of history. In their raw form, they're inaccessible to anyone without a large budget or a dedicated data team. That gap is what OpenHealthData was built to close.

Provider performance is directly tied to reimbursement earned, penalties avoided, and patients retained. Hospital administrators can benchmark against peers and understand exactly where they stand. Vendors walk into sales conversations knowing details about a prospect that competitors don't. Consultants stop guessing at where the gaps are and start moving clients from the middle of the pack to the top of it. Researchers and public health officials gain national, state, and local views that support smarter decisions.

And for anyone navigating a healthcare decision for themselves or someone they love — the right information should be just as available to them.

I know what's missing. So I decided to build what should exist.
