Healthcare Metrics Dashboard

Executive Summary: This dashboard summarizes the current Healthcare metrics rollup. It uses the generated rollup JSON file and does not assign a final public grade. The current purpose is internal review, public-beta preparation, and transparent publication readiness.

Metric scope: The active automated rollup currently contains three validated starter metrics. Other Healthcare metrics are future development work, not current dashboard failures. Missing future metrics should be tracked through source review and requirements traceability before being added to the public rollup.

Active Automated Rollup Metrics

The table below shows only the metrics currently included in the automated dashboard rollup. These are the active pipeline inputs, not the full future Healthcare metric universe.

Metric	Source	QA Status	Dashboard Use
HC-MET-002 Active rollup input	BLS Medical Care CPI	CHECK	Medical price trend context. CHECK is acceptable for internal review when the BLS API is rate-limited and prior data is preserved.
HC-MET-003 Active rollup input	Census Health Insurance Coverage	PASS	Coverage and uninsured-rate context.
HC-MET-001 Active rollup input	CMS National Health Expenditures	PASS	System spending, per-capita spending, and GDP-share context.

REVIEW CANDIDATE

7.4%

Adults who did not get needed medical care due to cost

Year: 2024; CI: 7.0, 7.8

8.6%

Adults who delayed getting medical care due to cost

Year: 2024; CI: 8.2, 9.0

Governance note: Display as a paired/caution candidate. This post-2019 adult-only NHIS series should not be silently merged with the older 1997â€“2018 all-person Health, United States series. It remains outside the active rollup until the source definition is approved.

Future Metric Development Roadmap

The items below are placeholders for the next Healthcare automation phase. They should not be interpreted as current data failures. Each future metric should pass source review, field mapping, extractor QA, rollup integration, and publishing QA before appearing as an active dashboard metric.

Development Stage	Meaning	Recommended Use
Active	Extractor exists and writes current JSON used by the rollup.	Display on dashboard with QA status.
Review candidate	Source has been identified, but field mapping or extraction still needs review.	Keep in admin review pages; do not publish as a dashboard metric yet.
Future metric	Metric is conceptually useful but not yet automated.	Track in requirements-to-metrics traceability and source review.

Publication Note

This page intentionally separates dashboard readiness from a final public grade. A final grade should not be assigned until the source set, thresholds, weighting, and congressional accountability method are approved.

Review healthcare_metrics_current.json on the Healthcare Metrics dashboard. 2. Confirm that the three source extractors continue to report QA PASS. 3. Create run_healthcare_metrics_all.py to run all Healthcare extractors and this rollup builder. 4. Integrate the Healthcare metrics runner into the Master Control Panel.
