Documenting Medical Resource Variations
Staff Reporters
For more than 20 years, the Dartmouth Atlas Project [DAP] has documented glaring variations in how medical resources are distributed and used in the United States.
Purpose
According to its website, the project uses Medicare data to provide comprehensive information and analysis about national, regional and local markets, as well as individual hospitals and their affiliated physicians.
Information Uses
These reports, used by policymakers, the media, health care analysts and others, have radically changed the understanding of the efficiency and effectiveness of our health care system. This valuable data forms the foundation for many of the ongoing efforts to improve health and health systems across America.
Assessment
This website provides access to all DAR reports and publications, as well as interactive tools to allow visitors to view specific regions and perform their own comparisons and analyses. It is well worth a look by all healthcare stakeholders, and Executive-Post readers.
