Collective Impact
Analytics for All
Working together for the common good.

Our Collective Impact initiative reflects our mission by providing pro bono solutions that deliver insights, deepen understanding, and demonstrate the value of APCDs nationwide.
2025 Multi-State Behavioral Health Initiative
A five-state collaboration unlocking new insights.
The 2025 Multi-State Behavioral Health Initiative – our inaugural Collective Impact project – is an exciting collaboration between Onpoint and five of our state all-payer claims database (APCD) clients – Connecticut, Maryland, Minnesota, Vermont, and Washington. Working together to leverage their collective data for systemwide healthcare improvement, we developed a series of interactive dashboards that explore the relationships between behavioral health, other medical conditions, and social drivers of health across key geographies. Explore the dashboards below.
Explore Key Findings & Highlights
Looking for some quick takeaways from the 2025 behavioral health dashboards – or launching points for your own analysis? Onpoint’s analytics team has gathered some of our key points of interest into a series of Tableau “slides” that highlight different data points across the states’ dashboards. To launch the deck, simply click on the image to the right and then visit any of the state dashboards to continue exploring.
APCD Behavioral Health Dashboards
Issue Briefs
Onpoint’s analytics team spent a year developing these dashboards, working closely with the data and our clients to explore its nuances. Along the way, our team developed a series of findings and observations that are captured in a series of topical issue briefs. Use these downloadable reports to learn more, continue the conversation, and spark ideas for further areas to explore.
Exploring the Impact of Mental Health on Emergency Department Utilization
In this issue brief, Onpoint draws on the underlying data from our Multi-State Behavioral Health Initiative to analyze how mental health conditions impact use of the emergency department (ED) across states and payer types. The analysis includes a special focus on “frequent flyers” – individuals who make up a relatively small percentage of members but account for a disproportionate number of ED visits, many of them for non-emergency issues.
Investigating the Availability of Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Data in State APCDs
The Multi-State Behavioral Health Initiative included an in-depth assessment of the availability of substance use disorder (SUD) data in our clients’ APCDs. Learn more – including suggestions on leveraging APCD data for SUD-related studies – in this issue brief.
A Data-Driven Approach with a Distributed Model
Unlike single-state studies, this initiative harnesses the power of multi-state APCD data to offer an example for future collaborations that offer significant gains for the public good.
- Cross-state collaboration. Establishing a scalable, repeatable framework for cross-state APCD analysis with stakeholder consensus on methods, measures, and data sharing.
- Responsive design. Delivering dynamic tools that enhance data transparency and empower users to focus on the questions that interest them most.
- Equitable access to insights. Providing high-value analytics at no cost to participating states while also making the data accessible to the general public, policymakers, and healthcare leaders.
