In Partnership with the Camden Coalition of Healthcare Providers (CCHP), CamConnect manages the Camden Health Database, a 600,000 record administrative database that includes demographic, diagnoses, and financial information for all admissions and emergency room visits to the City’s three hospitals made by City residents.

Developed methodology to estimate the number uninsured by county and ZIP code and model the impacts of health insurance reform using PUMS data.

The AAA-1B manages a wait-list for seniors who wish to receive in-home care, which is typically less expensive than care in nursing homes. D3 is performing analysis on the AAA-1B wait-list to help them effectively target resources to assist those seniors most in need, and to measure the cost-effectiveness of in-home care in order to estimate savings for both seniors and for care providers.
The Skillman Foundation requested that D3 prepare a white paper on the overall well-being of Detroit's children, with a sub-analysis specific to boys of color. This report presents a broad set of indicators on the population aged 0 to 18 years in the City of Detroit. Indicators fall into the following categories: demographic overview, early childhood well-being, child health and access to health care, education, and safety and community. The research provides a basis for a deeper understanding of how best to support Detroit's children, and a benchmark to measure gains in the future.
