The state of Minnesota offers examples of data-driven organizations as well as a statewide effort to electronically link these into an integrated network. The examples provided by Blue Cross Blue/Shield of Minnesota demonstrate an array of analytical tools to improve quality and enhance financial performance. Blue Cross/ Blue Shield of Minnesota uses a clinical severity measurement system to aid in the development of an inpatient hospital reimbursement methodology which enables hospitals to better manage the quality of care delivered to the patient population. They also make use of population-based utilization analysis in a collaborative environment with providers to improve quality and efficiency of care. The Minnesota Health Data Institute was created by the state legislature to support the information needs of the health care stakeholders in Minnesota. One of its first initiatives is to develop a uniform method of comparing health care plans.
明尼苏达州提供了数据驱动型组织的实例，以及将这些组织通过电子方式连接成一个综合网络的全州范围的努力。明尼苏达蓝十字蓝盾提供的实例展示了一系列用于提高质量和增强财务绩效的分析工具。明尼苏达蓝十字蓝盾使用临床严重程度测量系统来协助制定住院医院报销方法，这使医院能够更好地管理为患者群体提供的护理质量。他们还在与医疗服务提供者的协作环境中利用基于人群的利用情况分析，以提高护理质量和效率。明尼苏达健康数据研究所由州立法机构设立，以满足明尼苏达州医疗保健利益相关者的信息需求。其首批举措之一是开发一种比较医疗保健计划的统一方法。
