  1. Data Science for HealthCare.gov Dr. Brand Niemann Director and Senior Data Scientist Semantic Community http://semanticommunity.info/ http://datacommunitydc.org/blog/2013/08/cloud-soa-semantics-and-data-science-conference/ http://semanticommunity.info/Healthcare.gov October 31, 2013

  2. Background • HealthCare.gov was launched October 1st by President Obama. • HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius accepted responsibility for problems with HealthCare.gov before Congress on October 30th. • I followed Gall’s Law to better understand the Web site content and online application process and to build a simple system that works. • I repurposed the content to build a taxonomy (from the application process) and thesaurus (from the glossary), to create knowledge bases for Data Science and Be Informed Applications.

  3. Healthcare.gov My Note: I found this interface to be overwhelmingly complex. https://www.healthcare.gov/

  4. Site Map and Glossary https://www.healthcare.gov/sitemap/

  5. Goals and Process • The goal was to build simple system that works and can be scaled up according to Gall's Law. • The process was: • A Simplified HealthCare.gov Metamodel • HealthCare.gov By State • HealthCare.gov Plan Information Example • Answer a few quick questions to see the premium estimates • What type of coverage do you need? • What state do you live in? • What county do you live in? • Who will you apply for health coverage for? • Message • Most people who apply will qualify for lower costs • Plans are put into 5 categories • Results • The results are shown in MindTouch, Spreadsheet, Spotfire, and Be Informed Knowledge Bases.

  6. Knowledge Base: MindTouch My Note: The entire platform can be searched. My Note: The Semantic Community Platform includes MindTouch (Wiki), Spotfire (Analytics), and Be Informed (Be Free). This page can be search by Google Chrome Find. http://semanticommunity.info/Healthcare.gov

  7. Knowledge Base: Spreadsheet My Note: All of these spreadsheets can be searched. My Note: The Semantic Community approach is consistent with the European ISA Recommended URI Design and Management Principles. http://semanticommunity.info/@api/deki/files/26890/Healthcare.gov.xlsx

  8. Knowledge Base: Spotfire https://silverspotfire.tibco.com/us/library#/users/bniemann/Public?Healthcare.gov-Spotfire.dxp

  9. Knowledge Base: Be Informed Building a Permit Application in 30 minutes Getting Started with Be Informed Personal Edition Building a working application in less than an hour What's new in Be Informed 4.2.4 The technical features and possibilities of Be Informed Using semantic technology to create process-driven documentation http://www.beinformed.com/BeInformed/website/en/EN/CommunityEventsArchive http://www.beinformed.com/BeInformed/website/en/EN/CommunityEvents

  10. Conclusions and Recommendations • Gall’s Law can be used to better understand the HealthCare.gov Web site content and online application process and to build a simple system that works. • The background information mentions that the "Data Hub" is working well, but it is not openly exposed so developers could develop their own HealthCare.gov themselves like I am going to do. • A simple “Data Hub” was built in a spreadsheet and could be scaled up by screen scraping code. • My HealthCare.gov Results Costs are visualized by Provider and Category to help my decision making. • Be Informed Be Free is being used in a series of free training events and to pilot agile HealthCare.gov without expensive software development.
