A FRAMEWORK FOR ADMINISTRATIVE CLAIM DATA TO EXPLORE HEALTHCARE COORDINATION AND COLLABORATION

Previous studies have documented the application of electronic health insurance claim data for health services research purposes. In addition to administrative and billing details of healthcare services, insurance data reveal important information regarding professional interactions/links that emerge among healthcare service providers through, for example, informal knowledge sharing. By utilising details of such professional interactions and
