Modern Healthcare: Dartmouth Atlas Plans New Studies, Data Sources
The Dartmouth Atlas Project announced two projects to analyze geographic differences in healthcare for patients insured by Medicaid and commercial insurance. The project, an ongoing research effort at the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice, has previously relied largely on data from Medicare, the publicly subsidized insurance for seniors, to study how healthcare spending and use varies across the U.S. (Evans, 1/30).
