Welcome to the Chronic Conditions Data Warehouse

The CMS Chronic Conditions Data Warehouse (CCW) provides researchers with Medicare and Medicaid beneficiary, claims, and assessment data linked by beneficiary across the continuum of care. In the past, researchers analyzing data files were required to perform extensive analysis related to beneficiary matching, deduplication, and merging of the files in preparation for their study analysis. With the CCW data, this preliminary linkage work is already accomplished and delivered as part of the data files sent to researchers.

The Chronic Conditions Data Warehouse (CCW) is a research database designed to make Medicare, Medicaid, Assessments, Part C, and Part D Prescription Drug Event data more readily available to support research designed to improve the quality of care and reduce costs and utilization.
