title: Variation in the Care of Surgical Conditions

description: &lt;h2&gt;Overview&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice (TDI) has created a publicly available source of data that provides researchers, payers, regulators, and innovators with metrics that quantify temporal and regional patterns of health care spending and utilization in the United States. Using CMS Medicare claims data (mostly for age &gt;64 enrollees), Atlas researchers built cohorts (“denominators”) and numerous measures or events (“numerators”) which were then used to calculate rates by geography. These rates, which are calculated consistently across time and place, provide researchers with opportunities to evaluate spatial and temporal variation/trends. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This entry contains Dartmouth Atlas rates related to the care of conditions for which surgery is one important treatment option. The specific conditions examined are obesity; cerebral aneurysm; diabetes and peripheral arterial disease; spinal stenosis; end-stage renal disease; and prostate cancer. The years and types of rates provided vary across these six conditions. Examples of rates include the rate at which specific types of surgeries are performed, post-surgery readmission rates, and re-intervention-free survival rates. Rates are provided at the hospital referral region (HRR) level. Where appropriate, rates have been adjusted for age, sex, and race. For diabetes and peripheral arterial disease, both overall rates and race-stratified rates (black and non-black) are provided.&lt;/p&gt;

title: Geographic Variation in Spending and Utilization Across Payer Types

description: &lt;h2&gt;Overview&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice (TDI) has created a publicly available source of data that provides researchers, payers, regulators, and innovators with metrics that quantify temporal and regional patterns of health care spending and utilization in the United States. Using CMS Medicare claims data (mostly for age &gt;64 enrollees), Atlas researchers built cohorts (“denominators”) and numerous measures or events (“numerators”) which were then used to calculate rates either by geography or for patients assigned to specific hospitals. These rates, which are calculated consistently across time and place, provide researchers with opportunities to evaluate spatial and temporal variation/trends. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This entry contains 2017 rates of overall spending (excluding pharmacy claims) and inpatient utilization (measured as bed days per enrollee) across two different insurance payers, fee-for-service Medicare and Medicaid. Rates for a third payer type (private insurers) were also analyzed, but these private insurer rates cannot be posted publicly. Rates are provided for 241 of 306 hospital referral regions (HRRs) and for two states (Vermont and Wyoming). Rates have been adjusted for age and sex. &lt;p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In contrast to traditional Dartmouth Atlas rates, which rely on Medicare claims data, this entry uses All Payer and Medicaid claims data to provide rates for a variety of measures related to pediatric care in Northern New England (Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont). The rates focus on children less than 18 years of age and cover the period from 2007 to 2010. Rates related to seven different health care domains are provided: the physician workforce, ambulatory care, effective care, hospitalization, common surgical procedures, diagnostic imaging, and outpatient pharmacy prescription fills. Rates are provided at either the hospital service area (HSA) or the pediatric surgical area (PSA) level. Where appropriate, rates have been adjusted for age, sex, and insurance type.&lt;p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This entry contains prescription drug use and spending rates for fee-for-service (FFS) Medicare beneficiaries with Part D coverage in 2010. Examples include total Part D spending per beneficiary, percentage of 30-day prescriptions filled with brand-name products, and percentage of beneficiaries filling at least one prescription for a high-risk medication. Rates are also provided for three specific cohorts (diabetes, acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and fragility fracture), including utilization rates for specific medications relevant to each cohort (e.g., beta-blocker prescriptions following an AMI). Rates are provided at the state, hospital referral region (HRR), and hospital service area (HSA) levels. See related publication for details regarding risk adjustment.&lt;p&gt;
