Easy way to find over 25 million data points that document glaring variations in how medical resources are distributed and used in the United States
What: The Dartmouth Atlas Project has launched an innovative new website, dartmouthatlas.org, to provide comprehensive information and analysis about national, regional, and local health care markets, as well as individual hospitals and their affiliated physicians.
Background: The new website features custom maps, grids, trend reports, charts and fact sheets, using over 25 million data points about national, regional and local health care markets, as well as individual hospitals and their affiliated physicians. New highlights include:
Easy access to the Atlas’ extensive database, allowing users to create maps, charts and tables that can be downloaded and incorporated into reports and presentations.
Search functionality to find, view and conduct comparative analysis of profiles of specific hospitals, primary care service areas, hospital service areas, hospital referral areas and states.
A new “key issues” section to highlight research themes such as Medicare spending, supply-sensitive care, preference-sensitive care, the physician workforce, end-of-life care, racial disparities, accountable care organizations and more.
The website also features case studies that highlight how Atlas data has been used by other researchers and groups to explore variations in use among local areas, health systems and hospitals, and the ability to browse through 14 years of archived media coverage
