Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first task of the Atlas project, undertaken in 1993, was to establish the geographic boundaries of naturally-occurring health care markets in the United States. Based on a study of where Medicare patients were hospitalized, 3,436 geographic hospital service areas were defined. The hospital service areas were then grouped into 306 hospital referral regions on the basis of where Medicare patients were hospitalized for major cardiovascular surgical procedures and neurosurgery, markers for regionalization. In this Atlas, some measures of medical resources and utilization are reported at the level of hospital service areas (those resources and services which are more common and for which data is sufficiently rich to provide statistical stability even for relatively small areas) and at the level of hospital referral regions, which are used in cases where the number of events (for example, open heart surgery) is relatively small.

Book excerpt: This short Atlas report updated measures of Medicare expenditures, end-of-life care, readmission rates, and the quality of ambulatory care using 2018 Medicare claims data. There are some hopeful signs in the trends; inflation adjusted Medicare expenditures per enrollee were relatively constant--one of the few cases in health care where expenditures per person have not grown--while the influence of "outlier" regions such as Miami and McAllen, Texas has diminished. Readmission rates have declined, while quality measures have risen. Despite these aggregate improvements, however, changes over time in expenditures, readmission rates, and quality of care continue to exhibit wide variation, with little change in the interquartile ranges (the ratio of spending and other measures between the 75th to the 25th percentile HRR). Furthermore, the averages mask considerable geographic variability in changes over time. In some regions, for example, rates of mammography rose, while in others they fell. Documenting these changes over time is essential for providers and policymakers to understand whether their efforts to reduce expenditures and improve quality have been successful; a more difficult question is why some regions improved so much, while others did not.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interdisciplinary uses of traditional cartographic resources and modern GIS tools allow for the analysis and discovery of information across a wide spectrum of fields. A Research Guide to Cartographic Resources navigates the numerous American and Canadian cartographic resources available in print and online, offering researchers, academics and students with information on how to locate and access the large variety of resources, new and old. Dozens of different cartographic materials are highlighted and summarized, along with lists of map libraries and geospatial centers, and related professional associations. A Research Guide to Cartographic Resources consists of 18 chapters, two appendices, and a detailed index that includes place names, and libraries, structured in a manner consistent with most reference guides, including cartographic categories such as atlases, dictionaries, gazetteers, handbooks, maps, plans, GIS data and other related material. Almost all of the resources listed in this guide are categorized by geography down to the county level, making efficient work of the type of material required to meet the information needs of those interested in researching place-specific cartographic-related resources. Additionally, this guide will help those interested in not only developing a comprehensive collection in these subject areas, but get an understanding of what materials are being collected and housed in specific map libraries, geospatial centers and their related websites. Of particular value are the sections that offer directories of cartographic and GIS libraries, as well as comprehensive lists of geospatial datasets down to the county level. This volume combines the traditional and historical collections of cartography with the modern applications of GIS-based maps and geospatial datasets.
