THE DARTMOUTH ATLAS OF HEALTH CARE: THE SOUTH ATLANTIC STATES
Geographic Variations In Health Care
The national volume of the Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care, published in the
Spring of 1996, brought to light the often startling patterns of variation in health
care throughout the nation. Research conducted to produce the Atlas revealed large
differences in the rates of allocation of hospital resources, in the physician supply,
and in the use of procedures such as coronary artery bypass grafting. The analysis of
these differences was at the level of 306 hospital referral regions — the natural
markets, defined by patient origin studies, for the use of tertiary, or referral, care
among populations in the United States.
But health care is highly local, and the analysis of patterns of resource distribution
and utilization among referral regions often masks important differences between
the communities which, when aggregated, make up the larger region. Moreover, the
task of actually addressing the problems of variation is often a local undertaking,
one for which more specific — and more local — information is needed.
The 306 hospital referral regions comprise 3,436 geographically distinct hospital
service areas, which are the natural markets for care that can be delivered locally —
outpatient services and most acute hospital care. The regional volumes of the
Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care (this book is one of nine such volumes) focus on
these hospital service areas as the unit of analysis. The regional volumes make clear
that there is often as much, and frequently more, variation among the hospital service areas within states and regions than among the larger units of analysis, the
hospital referral regions.
The existence of variation raises a number of important issues. Foremost is the question “Which rate is right?” Which pattern of resource allocation, and which pattern
of utilization, is “correct?” The study of practice variations reveals how complex this
question really is. In the case of variations in rates of individual procedures, such as
coronary artery bypass grafting and back surgery, the explanation is not that patients
in areas with low procedure rates are going without treatment; they are, instead,
INTRODUCTION 3
being treated differently, often with more conservative medical management (Table 1). Learning which rate
is right requires learning what informed patients want. The right rate must be the one that reflects the choices
of patients who have been adequately informed and empowered to choose among the available options.

THE DARTMOUTH ATLAS OF HEALTH CARE: THE SOUTH ATLANTIC STATES
In the case of variations in the supply of health care resources, such as the numbers
of hospital beds and physicians, the question “Which rate is right?” needs to be
framed in another way: What is the impact on population health of variations in
resource allocation? Is more better? And if not, how much could be reallocated to
other, more effective uses by reducing resources and their utilization to the level of
more conservative communities?
Another important issue raised by geographic variation concerns fairness. Variation
studies provide good evidence that populations living in areas where health care
spending is low are not necessarily sicker, or have greater unmet needs, than those
who live in areas where per capita spending on health care is high. Costs are higher
in these regions, not because better health is being achieved, but because the local
health care systems have greater capacity, or because the price of medical care in
those communities is higher. A system that rewards high cost areas by continuing to
pay their higher costs is by definition economically punishing areas that have fewer
resources, use them more efficiently, and are reimbursed less. Is it fair for citizens
living in regions with low per capita health care costs to subsidize the greater (and
more costly) use of care by people living in high resource and high utilization regions?
The nine regional Atlases provide the data and analysis for specific hospital service
areas with which these and other questions can be addressed. Strategies to address
the question of the appropriate levels of supply must be developed in the absence
of detailed understanding of the nature of health care needs, medical care outcomes,
and what patients want. One such strategy begins by examining individual communities and comparing them to others. Such comparisons lead naturally to a search
for “efficiently” operated health plans or communities — those with an adequate
but not excessive supply of resources.
INTRODUCTION 5
About Benchmarking in the Atlas
Even in the absence of a detailed understanding of the nature of health care needs,
medical care outcomes, and what patients want, we must establish appropriate levels
of supply. One method of doing this is to examine the way resources are actually
used, and to use as “benchmarks” efficiently operated health care plans or communities that appear to have an adequate but not excessive level of supply.
Benchmarking provides answers to two related questions: How much more (or less)
health care capacity would the nation need, if all areas had the level of capacity of
the benchmark area? And how much more (or less) health care capacity would be
required in a specific area if its per capita capacity were equal to the level of the
benchmark area?
Figure 1.1 illustrates the benchmarking approach to the second question by comparing the supply of acute care hospital beds per thousand residents of Boston,
Massachusetts, Hartford, Connecticut, and New Haven, Connecticut, to three
benchmarks. The benchmarks in this example are the highest ranked of the three
areas, Boston (which had 3.7 beds per thousand residents in 1993); New Haven, the
lowest ranked (2.4 beds per thousand) and the United States average of 3.3 beds per
thousand. The figure shows the result of applying the New Haven benchmark to
Boston: Boston’s adjusted bed supply was 54% higher than New Haven’s (3.712/
2.404= 1.54). If the New Haven rate were applied in Boston, Boston would have
had 1,006 fewer beds (the number in parentheses). This number is obtained by
multiplying the population of the Boston hospital service area by its bed rate: 3.712
x 768,694 = 2,853.4. Had New Haven rates applied, the number allocated would
have been 1,847.9 (2.404 x 768,694). The “excess” beds in Boston are calculated by
subtraction: 2,853.4 - 1,847.9 = 1,005.5.
In the figure, Hartford, Connecticut’s, adjusted rates are demonstrated to have been
23% higher than the New Haven benchmark; the surplus is calculated as 288 acute
care beds in the Hartford hospital service area. The figure also benchmarks Boston’s

Benchmarks are used in this volume of the Atlas to compare levels of supply of health care resources, reimbursements,
and utilization among hospital service areas in the South Atlantic States. These comparisons are starting points;
using the Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care databases, which are available on CD-ROM, and software available
without charge through the Atlas internet site (http://www.dartmouth.edu/~atlas/), it is possible to compare any

maintenance organization.
level of bed supply to Hartford’s and New Haven’s. Hospital bed rates in Hartford
were 20% lower than in Boston; when the Boston benchmark is applied to Hartford, 381 more beds are needed. If Boston’s rate were applied to New Haven, 506
more hospital beds would be needed. The figure also illustrates the use of the United
States average as a benchmark.
INTRODUCTION 7
Tables
Detailed information about each hospital service area in the South Atlantic States,
including most of the variables presented in the Atlas, is presented at the end of
Parts Two through Five. Part Six presents details concerning the contribution of specific hospitals to the total allocation of hospital beds and Medicare reimbursements
for inpatient care in each hospital service area. It also includes information on the
number of physicians who serve each hospital service area and the locations of their
practices. A more extensive database is available on CD-ROM.
Strategies and Methods
Part Nine of the national volume of the Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care provides
details about the methods used in the Atlas and an explanation of the distribution
graphs and the measure of association, the R2 statistic, used in both the national
and regional Atlases. Since some hospital service areas have small populations, areas were excluded from maps and figures in the regional volumes if the standard
error of their rates exceeded 10% of the national average rate; for surgical procedures, the maximum standard error was 20%. The minimum population size for
inclusion thus differs among the variables, and is reported in the notes to Tables Two
through Five.
The impact of sample size is greatest for the estimates of Medicare reimbursements,
which are based on a 5% sample of Medicare claims. In the national volume, these
estimates were based on a one-year sample (1993). To increase the precision of these
estimates, the data for reimbursements presented in the regional Atlases are based
on a two-year sample (1992-93); the denominators are the enrollee person-years for
the same time period. The rates thus reflect the average annual rate for the two-year
period, 1992-93.

THE DARTMOUTH ATLAS OF HEALTH CARE: THE SOUTH ATLANTIC STATES
About Rates in the Atlas
In order to make comparisons easier, all rates in the Atlas are expressed on a scale
that results in at least one digit to the left of the decimal point (e.g., 98.4 primary
care physicians per hundred thousand residents, rather than .984 per thousand). To
achieve this, different denominators were used in calculating rates.
The levels of supply of hospital beds and hospital full time equivalent employees
and registered nurses are expressed as beds, employees, and registered nurses per
thousand residents of the hospital service area, based on American Hospital Association data and census calculations.
Expenditures and reimbursements are expressed as dollars per capita or per Medicare enrollee, based on American Hospital Association data, Medicare claims data,
and census calculations.
The numbers of physicians providing services to residents of hospital service areas
are expressed as physicians per hundred thousand residents, based on American
Medical Association and American Osteopathic Association data and census calculations.
The numbers of surgical and diagnostic procedures performed are expressed as procedures per thousand Medicare enrollees in the hospital service area, (or as
procedures per thousand male Medicare enrollees in the area, in the case of prostate
procedures) based on Medicare claims data.
Patient day rates are expressed as total inpatient days per thousand Medicare enrollees, based on Medicare claims data.
INTRODUCTION 9
Making Fair Comparisons Between Hospital Service Areas
Some communities have greater needs for health care services and resources than
others; for example, in some communities in Florida, as many as 60% of residents
are over age 65. Other areas — including some with large college populations, or ski
resorts — have much larger proportions of younger people. To ensure fair comparisons between areas, all rates in the Atlas have been adjusted to remove the
differences that might be due to the different age and sex composition of local
populations. This adjustment avoids identifying some areas as having high rates of
utilization simply because of their larger proportions of elderly residents. When data
were available, rates have also been adjusted for differences in race. The methods
used to adjust these rates are explained in Part Nine of the national volume of the
Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care.
Some areas, such as major urban centers, have higher costs of living than others.
Such areas are likely to have high health care expenditures because the costs of personnel, real estate, and supplies are higher, and not necessarily because they are
providing more services. Adjusting for such variation provides a more comparable
measure of differences in real health care spending that is not simply due to differences in costs of living among areas. To ensure fair comparisons of health care
expenditures, hospital expenditure rates and Medicare reimbursement rates were
adjusted to take into account the differences between hospital service areas in costs
of living.
The methods used to adjust for age, sex, race, and price of medical care are detailed
in Part Nine of the national volume of the Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care.

The Geography of Health Care
in the South Atlantic States

THE DARTMOUTH ATLAS OF HEALTH CARE: THE SOUTH ATLANTIC STATES
The Geography of Health Care in the South Atlantic States
The use of health care resources in the South Atlantic States, like their use in the
United States as a whole, is highly localized. Most Americans use the services of
physicians whose practices are nearby. Physicians, in turn, are usually affiliated with
hospitals that are near their practices. As a result, when patients are admitted to
hospitals, the admission generally takes place within a relatively short distance of
where the patient lives. Although the distances from homes to hospitals vary with
geography — people who live in rural areas travel farther than those who live in
cities — in general most patients are admitted to a hospital which provides an appropriate level of care close to where they live.
The Medicare program maintains exhaustive records of hospitalizations, which
makes it possible to define the patterns of use of hospital care. When Medicare enrollees are admitted to hospitals, the program’s records identify both the patients’
places of residence (by ZIP Code) and the hospitals where the admissions took place
(by a unique numerical identifier). These files provide a reliable basis for determining the geographic pattern of health care use, because research shows that the
migration patterns of patients in the Medicare program are similar to those for
younger patients.
Medicare records of hospitalizations were used to define 3,436 geographically distinct hospital service areas in the United States. In each hospital service area, most
of the care received by Medicare patients is provided by hospitals within the area.
There are 515 of these hospital service areas in the South Atlantic States. The maps
in this section show the location of each of these areas. Hospital service areas have
been further aggregated into hospital referral regions, based on the pattern of use of
cardiac surgery and neurosurgery. The maps also show the hospital referral regions
to which the hospital service areas belong.
A detailed description of how hospital service areas and hospital referral regions were
defined, and of the methodologies used to create the Atlas of Health Care in the
THE GEOGRAPHY OF HEALTH CARE IN THE SOUTH ATLANTIC STATES
South Atlantic States, is included in Part Nine of the national volume of the
Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care. Population size in the hospital service areas in the
South Atlantic States is given in Tables 2 and 4. The numbers of Medicare enrollees in
each hospital service area are given in Tables 3 and 5.

PART TWO
Acute Care Hospital Resources
and Expenditures
in the South Atlantic States
This section provides measures of the allocation of hospital
resources to the populations living in hospital service areas in
the South Atlantic States. Data from the American Hospital
Association and the Medicare program were used to estimate
the numbers of staffed hospital beds, full time equivalent hospital employees, registered nurses employed in acute care
hospitals, and hospital expenditures allocated to care for the
population of each region. The population count is from the
1990 United States census.
The estimates for resource allocations presented in the Atlas
have been adjusted for differences in age and sex, and in the
case of expenditures, for regional differences in prices. The allocation method adjusts for patient migration to hospitals
located outside of the hospital service area where the patient
resides. Part Nine of the national volume of the Dartmouth
Atlas of Health Care explains how these adjustments were
made.

PART THREE
The Medicare Program
in the South Atlantic States

THE DARTMOUTH ATLAS OF HEALTH CARE: THE SOUTH ATLANTIC STATES
The Medicare Program in the South Atlantic States
Most Americans over the age of 65 receive their medical care from “traditional”
Medicare. That is, their care is obtained from providers who charge on a fee-forservice basis, either as independent practitioners or as members of health
maintenance organizations that are not capitated. In 1992-93, over 95% of Medicare outlays for people over 65 was reimbursed on a fee-for-service basis. There were
large differences in these reimbursements between hospital service areas in the South
Atlantic States: total program outlays varied by a factor of more than 2.2; reimbursements for professional and laboratory services by a factor of more than 2.6; and
reimbursements for outpatient services by a factor of more than 3.1.
Many policy experts have recommended greater enrollment in capitated managed
care among the Medicare population as a means of both cost containment and improvement in the quality of care. The inequalities between areas in capitation
payments, however, raise a serious challenge to implementing this strategy.
The basis for the federal capitation payment for managed care coverage of Medicare
enrollees is the Average Adjusted Per Capita Cost, or AAPCC. The amount is determined by the fee-for-service payments in the enrollee’s county of residence. Since
there are large differences in reimbursements among hospital service areas, the
amount reimbursed varies strikingly from one region to another. These disparities
have stimulated a growing debate about geographic equity.
Most of the attention has focused on the differences between states or large sections
of the country. For example, the AAPCC for 1996 for residents of the Minneapolis hospital service area was $4,599. Residents of the Miami hospital service area
received $8,245, which is almost 80% more. Because the federal contribution is
based on historical reimbursements within the county where the enrollee lives, there
are also striking variations within states. In 1996, the AAPCC in Florida varied from
$5,483 in Tampa to $8,245 in Hialeah.
THE MEDICARE PROGRAM
The differences in the AAPCC payment may reflect differences in prices that exist
between regions. To remove price as a factor in explaining the differences, the
AAPCC has been price adjusted, according to the method described in Part Nine
of the national volume. These adjustments, in some cases, make a substantial difference. The benchmarks for the AAPCC in Part Three include adjusted as well as
unadjusted rates. Table 3 contains both.
Note on Methods
Estimates for reimbursements are based on a 5% sample of the Medicare population
as recorded in the Continuous Medicare History File. The data are for 1992-93, and
the rates are an annualized average for the two year period. Fee-for-service reimbursements have been price adjusted to take into account differences in the cost of
living among hospital service areas. A description of the methods used to make these
price adjustments is in Part Nine of the national volume of the Dartmouth Atlas of
Health Care.
The estimates for the AAPCC in each hospital service area have been made as follows. When a hospital service area was located entirely within the boundaries of a
county, the AAPCC is for that county. When a hospital service area overlaps two or
more counties, the estimate is a weighted average, based on the proportion of the
hospital service area’s Medicare enrollees who resided in each county in 1993. Price
adjustments to the AAPCC were made according to the method described in Part
Nine of the national volume of the Atlas. The population used to estimate the dollars above or below the amount predicted by the benchmark (figures 3.10-3.13) is
the 1993 enrollee population. The estimates therefore do not include population
gain or loss that may have occurred since 1993.

Carolina, and Virginia were below the national average of $3,650. Among the
region’s larger cities, per enrollee reimbursements were above the national average
in Miami Beach, Florida ($5,880); Miami ($5,698); Baltimore ($4,481); and Jacksonville, Florida ($4,066). Raleigh, North Carolina ($3,325); Greenville, South
Carolina ($3,189); Richmond, Virginia ($3,141); and Charlotte, North Carolina
($3,133) were all below the national average.

THE DARTMOUTH ATLAS OF HEALTH CARE: THE SOUTH ATLANTIC STATES
Medicare Enrollment in Capitated Managed Care Plans
Since the early 1970s, Medicare beneficiaries have been offered the option of joining
risk bearing, or capitated, health maintenance organizations. Under the capitation
plan, the federal government pays health maintenance organizations a fixed annual
amount per enrollee. In exchange, the health maintenance organization must provide all required services. If the total costs of care exceed the amount the
government pays, then the health maintenance organization must absorb the loss;
if they are less, then the health maintenance organization may retain the difference.
In 1993, about 1.6 million, or 5.2%, of all Medicare enrollees were covered by risk
bearing health maintenance organizations, but enrollment was geographically very
uneven across the United States. Enrollment of Medicare beneficiaries in the South
Atlantic States was also highly variable. Medicare enrollees in Florida were more
likely to be members of health maintenance organizations than Medicare residents
of other parts of the region; in some parts of Florida, including Pembroke Pines
(37.7%); Hollywood (34.4%); Daytona Beach (32.7%) and Miami (26.6%) the
percentage was far above the national average. In most other parts of the region,
enrollement in health maintenance organizations was substantially lower than the
national average.

THE DARTMOUTH ATLAS OF HEALTH CARE: THE SOUTH ATLANTIC STATES
The Boundaries of Counties, Hospital Service Areas, and the AAPCC
As natural markets, hospital service areas commonly cross city limits and
county boundaries, and sometimes even state lines. Some hospital service areas
have component ZIP Codes in several different counties, and others are contained wholly within one county. Since the AAPCC is calculated on the basis
of county-level utilization experience, its value represents the weighted average of the costs of variable numbers of health care markets. For counties
containing several hospital service areas, the AAPCC’s value may not be
closely related to the actual costs of providing care in a given area.
For example, in Florida, the Palm Beach Gardens, Boynton Beach, Boca
Raton and Delray Beach hospital service areas are all in Palm Beach County,
and therefore they have the same AAPCC. Yet Medicare reimbursements in
these markets are quite different: in 1992-93, they were $3,654 for enrollees
in Palm Beach Gardens, $3,760 for Medicare enrollees living in Boynton
Beach, $4,338 for enrollees in Boca Raton and $5,069 for those in Delray
Beach. Since the actual cost of care for residents of Boynton Beach and Palm
Beach Gardens is below the value of the AAPCC, managed care organizations
might have a strong incentive to target these communities, thus increasing
Medicare reimbursements there toward the county average. If health maintenance organizations avoided communities like Delray Beach (where costs
exceed the AAPCC), the net effect would be an accelerated increase in overall Medicare costs.

TABLE 3
The data are age, sex and race adjusted for Medicare enrollees who were not
members of risk bearing health maintenance organizations on June 30, 1993.
See Part Nine, section 4, of the national volume of the Dartmouth Atlas of
Health Care for details on constructing rates and making price adjustments.
Data for three categories of expenditure — total expenditures, physician and
laboratory services, and outpatient services — are based on a 5% sample of
Medicare enrollees. To report average reimbursement rates in the figures and
maps in Part Three with adequate statistical precision, we required that the
sample size for a hospital service area (HSA) be large enough to ensure that the
rate have a standard error of less than 10% of the national average. The minimum sample size varies according to category of expenditures, since a varying
proportion of enrollees experience a claim, according to category. For total
Medicare expenditures, the minimum sample size is 600 enrollees; since the
estimate is based on a 5% sample, only HSAs with 12,000 enrollee personyears of experience are included in the figures and maps. For professional and
laboratory services, the minimum is 6,720 person-years; for outpatient services
it is 18,300. Rates for HSAs with less than the minimum population size are
given in parentheses in Table 3. Rates for areas with fewer than 400 personyears (i.e., a sample of 10 or fewer) are omitted from the table.
Inpatient reimbursements are based on a complete enumeration (100%
sample) for the years 1992-93. We omitted all areas with total census population of 3,500 or fewer from the figures and maps. The data for areas that fall
below this minimum appear in parentheses in Table 3.
Data for HSAs with 10 or fewer counts are omitted from the table (the cell is blank).
The AAPCC is the Average Adjusted per Capita Cost. The data for the
AAPCC are based on published federal rates. For hospital service areas that
cross county boundaries, the rates are weighted averages. Price adjustments to
the AAPCC were made according to the method described in Part Nine of the
national volume of the Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care.

PART FOUR
The Physician Workforce
in the South Atlantic States
This section provides measures of the allocation of physicians who are
in active practice to the populations living in the South Atlantic States’
hospital service areas. A physician in active practice is defined as one who
reported that he or she spent at least 20 hours a week in patient care.
The estimates for the physician workforce per 100,000 take into
account patient migration across the boundaries of hospital service
areas and have been adjusted for differences in age and sex of the local
populations. Part Nine of the national volume of the Dartmouth Atlas
of Health Care explains how these adjustments were made.
The data, which come from the American Medical Association, the
American Osteopathic Association, and the Medicare program, are for
1993. The population count is based on the 1990 United States
census. The data used for the health maintenance organization
benchmark is from a large staff model health maintenance
organization. It has been adjusted to account for differences in age and
sex according to methods described in Part Nine of the national Atlas.
Additional adjustments were made to account for out-of-plan use, as
described in the note to Table 4.

The Physician Workforce Active in Patient Care
All Physicians in Active Practice per 100,000 Residents in HSAs
The number of physicians in active practice per hundred thousand residents varied
widely within the South Atlantic States. Among the region’s larger cities in which
the numbers of physicians allocated to hospital service areas exceeded the national
average of 189 per hundred thousand residents were Washington, D.C. (351.0);
Miami Beach (319.3); Baltimore (279.3); and Miami (241.4). Wilmington, Delaware (212.5); Atlanta, Georgia (203.9); Richmond, Virginia (199.6); and
Jacksonville, Florida (198.2) were slightly above the national average; Raleigh,
North Carolina (161.6); Charleston, West Virginia (159.4); Greenville, South Carolina (154.9); and Charlotte, North Carolina (142.0) were all below it.

Specialist Physicians
Specialists per 100,000 Residents in HSAs
In the majority of large hospital service areas in the South Atlantic States (with the
exception of Florida), the supply of specialists per hundred thousand residents was
below the national average of 122. Washington, D.C. (239.7) had nearly twice the
national average. Among the region’s larger cities, the numbers of specialist physicians allocated to local populations were above the national average in Miami Beach
(202.9); Baltimore, Maryland (187.5); Miami, Florida (154.9); and Wilmington,
Delaware (135.6). Greenville, South Carolina (101.6); Charleston, West Virginia
(100.1); Raleigh, North Carolina (99.4); and Charlotte, North Carolina (93.9) were
all well below the national average.

Physicians in Primary Care
Primary Care Physicians per 100,000 Residents in HSAs
The number of primary care physicians in active practice per hundred thousand
residents was varied nearly as much as the supply of specialists among and within
the South Atlantic States. Among the region’s larger cities, the hospital service areas
with numbers of primary care physicians in excess of the national average of 66 per
hundred thousand residents were Miami Beach (113.4); Washington, D.C. (108.1);
Baltimore (89.9); Miami (83.0); and Wilmington, Delaware (75.7). Richmond,
Virginia (68.8); Atlanta, Georgia (68.3); and Jacksonville, Florida (64.1) were all
close to the national average; Raleigh, North Carolina (61.8); Charleston, West
Virginia (57.5); Greenville, South Carolina (52.3); and Charlotte, North Carolina
(47.5) were all below it.

number predicted by the experience in the benchmark area for 1993 is in parentheses. For example, the number of
physicians per hundred thousand allocated to the residents of Washington was 2.47 times higher than the number
allocated to residents of Charlotte, North Carolina. If the level of physician employment of the Charlotte benchmark

TABLE 4
All rates are age and sex adjusted and corrected for out of area use. See Part Nine of
the national volume of the Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care for details.
The count of primary physicians added to the count of specialists does not equal the
count for all physicians; the difference (about 1% nationally) is attributable to the
count of those in the “All Physician” category whose specialty areas were “unspecified.”
Hospital service areas with populations of 5,000 or fewer residents are omitted from
the figures and maps. In the table, the data for these areas are in parentheses.
The estimates for the staffing patterns of the large health maintenance organization
have been adjusted using a .10 adjustment for out-of-plan use and .04 for low Medicaid numbers; i.e., multiplied by a factor of 1.14.

PART FIVE
The Utilization of Hospitals for
Medical and Surgical Conditions
This section of the Atlas provides overall measures of the use of
hospitals for medical and surgical discharges, as well as procedure
rates for selected conditions.
As described in Part Two of the national volume of the
Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care, variations in the rates of use of
hospitals for medical discharges are closely related to the capacity
of the hospital industry in local and regional markets. Supplyrelated variations in the use of specific surgical procedures, while
linked to the quantity of resources, also reflect scientific
uncertainty about the outcomes of alternative ways of treating
common conditions — whether to treat coronary artery disease
medically or surgically, for example. These variations also reflect
a common failure to adequately involve patients in making
decisions about treatment choices. Part Six of the national volume
of the Atlas discusses these sources of variation in more detail to
raise the question “Which rate is right?” The wide variations in
surgical procedure rates in the region make clear the relevance of
the question for the South Atlantic States.
This section of the Atlas is based on data from the Medicare
program for 1992-93.

Total Medicare Discharges
All Discharges per 1,000 Medicare Enrollees in HSAs
The total number of discharges per thousand Medicare enrollees tended to be
higher than the national average of 315 in the majority of large hospital service areas
in Georgia and West Virginia. There was substantial variation in all of the South
Atlantic States; among the region’s larger cities, the numbers of discharges were well
higher than the national average in Parkersburg, West Virginia (409.8) and Baltimore (376.3); close to the national average in Richmond, Virginia (330.3); Miami
(318.7); and Atlanta (310.0); and below the national average in Wilmington, Delaware (300.5); Washington, D.C. (299.4); Tampa, Florida (293.9); Raleigh, North
Carolina (290.5); Charleston, South Carolina (285.3); Columbia, South Carolina
(247.0); and Charlotte, North Carolina (239.8).

Medicare Discharges for High Variation Medical Conditions
Discharges for HVMCs per 1,000 Medicare Enrollees in HSAs
More than 80% of medical admissions are for the treatment of what have been
described as “high variation medical conditions,” including problems such as pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, gastroenteritis, and congestive heart
failure. Residents of areas with higher hospital capacity experienced greater use of
hospital care, particularly for high variation medical conditions. Among the South
Atlantic States’ larger hospital service areas, the numbers of discharges for high variation medical conditions were higher than the national average of 191 per thousand
residents in Parkersburg, West Virginia (264.9) and Baltimore, Maryland (228.5).
Columbia, South Carolina (139.4) and Charlotte, North Carolina (127.5) were well
below the national average.

Contribution of Discharge Rate and Average Length of Stay to Patient
Days of Hospitalization for High Variation Medical Conditions
As shown in Part Two of the national Atlas, the rates of hospitalization for high
variation medical conditions in hospital service areas are closely associated with the
numbers of beds per thousand residents. Greater numbers of available beds reduce
the threshold for admission and re-admission. Although health services research has
consistently shown that admission policies are more important than length of stay
in determining aggregate hospital resource use, length of stay continues to be used
as a measure of hospital efficiency. Figures 5.5 and 5.6 illustrate the importance of
discharge rates as determinants of hospital use for high variation medical conditions.
Most of the variation in bed use was associated with the decision to admit (as measured by discharge rate) rather than decisions on how long to keep patients in the
hospital.

Rates of coronary angiography varied substantially within the region. The
hospital service area in Titusville, Florida, with 35.2 angiographies per thousand Medicare enrollees, was more than three times as high as Port St. Lucie,
Florida, with 8.4. Hendersonville, North Carolina (8.4) and Fayetteville,
North Carolina (8.5) also had rates substantially lower than the national average of 16.2 per thousand Medicare enrollees. Coronary angiography is an
essential diagnostic step in the decision making process leading to the recommendation of CABG or PTCA procedures. In the South Atlantic States,
hospital service areas that performed more diagnostic tests for coronary artery
disease per thousand Medicare enrollees had higher rates of invasive treatment.

TABLE 5
All rates are age, sex and race adjusted and are for 1992-93. The denominator is
based on two-year enrollee or person-years of experience.
For total, surgical and medical discharges as well as discharges for high variation
medical conditions, hospital service areas with total populations of fewer than 3,500
were omitted from the figures and maps. This gives a minimum 2-year population
of about 700 person-years. With an average total discharge rate of 315 per 1,000,
the minimum standard error for rates displayed in the figures and maps is less than
5.6% of the U.S. average (rate = 315, SE = .018) under binomial assumptions.
Rates for HSAs that do not meet the minimum population criteria are shown in
parentheses in Table 5.
For specific surgical procedures, hospital service areas with fewer than 25 expected
cases were not included in the figures and tables. Given the low average procedure
rate of between 1 and 5 procedures per 1,000, the largest standard error for included
areas is less than 20% of the overall rate. Rates for HSAs that do not meet the minimum expected case criterion are shown in parentheses in Table 5.
Rates for HSAs with 10 cases or fewer are omitted from the tables.

Hospital Bed Allocation and

THE DARTMOUTH ATLAS OF HEALTH CARE: THE SOUTH ATLANTIC STATES
Hospital Bed Allocation and Medicare Reimbursements for Inpatient
Services by Hospital Service Area and Hospital by Location
This table provides detailed information on the contribution of individual hospitals
to the experience of the population living within each hospital service area (HSA)
where the proportion of acute inpatient hospital care provided to enrollees living in
the area by local hospital(s) exceed a certain minimum. The criteria for appearing
in this table for the South Atlantic States is that the proportion of inpatient Medicare reimbursements for area residents that occurred at local hospitals must have
exceeded 50%. Because of the limitations on the length of the printed Atlas, only
231 of 515 HSAs in the region are included. Information on all HSAs in the United
States is provided on the CD-ROM version of the Atlas.
Table 6 is organized alphabetically by state and HSA. The table for Bridgeport,
Connecticut, on the facing page, is provided as an example.
Column 1 lists the name and state of the HSA, together with the total population
of the HSA.
Column 2 lists the names of local hospitals and out of area hospitals. Bridgeport
Hospital and St. Vincent’s Medical Center, which are both within the Bridgeport
HSA, received 48.4% and 40.0% of the HSA’s inpatient Medicare reimbursements
for 1992 and 1993 (column 11). Among out-of-area hospitals, Yale-New Haven
Hospital received 3.7% of reimbursements for residents of the Bridgeport HSA, and
Norwalk Hospital received 1.3% of reimbursements for residents of the Bridgeport
HSA. All other out-of-area hospitals, which included hospitals located anywhere in
the United States, received 6.6% of the inpatient reimbursements for Medicare
enrollees living in the Bridgeport HSA.
Column 3 (1992-93 HOSP’s MPDs) gives the total number of Medicare patient
days of care in 1992 and 1993 provided by each hospital (in thousands of patient
days). For example, Bridgeport Hospital provided 146.7 thousand patient days of
care to residents of all areas.

Column 4 (% of HOSP’s MPDs from HSA) gives the percentage of total Medicare
patient days for each listed hospital in 1992 and 1993 that was provided to residents
of the HSA. For example, 87.3% of Bridgeport Hospital’s patient days were for residents of the local HSA. (The remaining 13.7% were for residents of all other HSAs,
including neighboring HSAs as well as residents of remote HSAs from which patients
might have been temporary visitors or have experienced emergencies while traveling through Bridgeport.)
Column 5 (1992-93 MRs — Dollars in Millions) gives the total reimbursement for
inpatient services in millions of dollars received by each individually-listed hospital.
For example, in 1992-93, the Medicare Part A database shows that reimbursements
to Bridgeport Hospital were $93.28 million for residents of all areas.
Column 6 (% of HOSP’s MRs from HSA) gives the percent of total inpatient
reimbursements for listed hospitals in 1992 and 1993 (column 5) that were provided to Medicare enrollees living in the HSA. For example, 83.0% of Bridgeport
Hospital’s reimbursements were for residents of the Bridgeport HSA.

THE DARTMOUTH ATLAS OF HEALTH CARE: THE SOUTH ATLANTIC STATES
Column 7 (Staffed Beds) gives for each listed hospital the number of staffed beds
in 1993. In that year, Bridgeport Hospital had 505 staffed beds.
Column 8 (Allocation of HSA Beds by HOSP) estimates the number of hospital
beds allocated to the residents of the HSA by each hospital and by all hospitals. It
is obtained by multiplying the number of staffed beds (column 7) by the percent of
each hospital’s Medicare patient days that are for the HSA’s Medicare enrollees (column 4). For example, 87.3% of Bridgeport Hospital’s patient days are provided to
enrollees of the HSA (column 4) and in 1993 there were 505 staffed beds. The estimated allocation of hospital beds to Bridgeport is .8725 x 505 = 440.6. Of the two
listed out of area hospitals, Yale-New Haven contributes an estimated 25.7 of its
777 staffed beds, and Norwalk Hospital 13.4% of its 349 beds, to the residents of
Bridgeport. Estimates are made for all hospitals contributing one or more patient days
to the total for the HSA. For example, the remaining out-of-area hospitals (“All Others” in column 2) contribute a total of 51.2 hospital beds to the residents of
Bridgeport. Included in the All Others group would be the use of hospital care residents of Bridgeport make while out of area, for example while vacationing in Florida.
The total (All Hospitals) gives the sum of all contributed beds to the care of the
HSA. For example, in 1993 an estimated 869.5 hospital beds were allocated to the
care of residents of Bridgeport. Hospital bed allocations are made under the assumption that the HSA boundary crossing patterns seen for Medicare patients are similar
to those among people under 65 years of age. Studies in the Northeast and in California have shown this to be a reasonable assumption.
Column 9 (% of HSA’s MPDs by HOSP) gives the percent of the HSA’s total patient days provided by each hospital. For example, 50.1% of the patient days for
Medicare enrollees living in Bridgeport were provided by Bridgeport Hospital.
Column 10 (HSA MRs by HOSP — Dollars in Millions) gives the amount of
Medicare reimbursements for inpatient services provided by each listed hospital and
HOSPITAL BED ALLOCATION AND MEDICARE REIMBURSEMENTS
all other hospitals to the residents of Bridgeport. For example, Bridgeport Hospital
received $77.44 million for inpatient services provided to Medicare enrollees living
in Bridgeport; Yale-New Haven Hospital received $5.85 million, and “all other”
out-of-area hospitals received $10.54 million. For all inpatient care of the Medicare
residents of Bridgeport in 1992 and 1993, reimbursements totaled $160.03 million.
Column 11 (% of HSA’s MRs by HOSP) gives the proportion of Medicare inpatient reimbursements received by each hospital. For example, Bridgeport Hospital
received 48.4% of total reimbursements ($77.44/160.03 x 100= 48.4%).
On the Limitations of Space
The limitations on space in the printed version of the regional Atlas also make it
impractical to individually list more than two out-of-area hospitals contributing to
the care of a given HSA. In the case of Bridgeport, with its highly localized pattern
of care, only hospitals receiving less than 1.3% of the HSA Medicare inpatient reimbursements were not individually listed. But in several HSAs, particularly those near
major medical centers, truncation resulted in a much less complete picture of the
patterns of resource allocation and competition among institutions for market share
in the HSA. The Cambridge, Massachusetts HSA, located just across the Charles
River from Boston, provides an example. In contrast to Bridgeport, where over 88%
of Medicare reimbursements for HSA enrollees were to the two local hospitals, in
Cambridge, only 52.5% were provided at Mt. Auburn Hospital and Cambridge
Hospital, and nine out-of-area hospitals had a 1.4% share or greater.

THE DARTMOUTH ATLAS OF HEALTH CARE: THE SOUTH ATLANTIC STATES
The following table, which lists individually each out-of-area hospital whose Medicare reimbursements from the Cambridge HSA exceeded 1%, provides an
appreciation of the compromise between space and detail.

HOSPITAL BED ALLOCATION AND MEDICARE REIMBURSEMENTS
About the Detailed Tables Available on the CD-ROM
The CD-ROM version of the regional Atlases is not constrained by space limitations.
It contains a formatted version of Table 6 (identical to that for the Cambridge, Massachusetts HSA) listing all hospitals that received 1% or more of Medicare
reimbursements from the residents of each HSA. It also provides the data required for
the user to generate a patient origin study for each hospital in the United States in order to analyze the proportion of the hospital’s Medicare discharges, patient days and
reimbursements that come from various areas of the country.
The following table illustrates one use of this data for the Mary Hitchcock
Memorial Hospital (MHMH) in Lebanon, New Hampshire. Table 6.3 lists the
HSAs from which MHMH had more than 10 discharges in 1992-93. The final line
of the table lists totals for all HSAs in which any discharge occurred.
Column 2 (HSA of Patient Origin) lists the hospital service areas (HSA) where
Medicare enrollees (MEs) discharged from MHMH live. Only those HSAs where
there were more than ten discharges of MEs are included.
Column 3 (DCHGs from any HOSP of MEs in the HSA) gives the total number of
discharges (DCHGs) for MEs living in the HSA from any hospital (HOSP) anywhere
in the country. For example, there were 2,950 discharges from some hospital of Medicare enrollees living in the Springfield, Vermont hospital service area in 1992-93.
Column 4 (DCHGs of MEs in the HSA from MHMH) counts the discharges
(DSHGs) from Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital (MHMH) of Medicare enrollees (MEs) living in the HSA in 1992-93. For example, there were 533 discharges
from MHMH for MEs living in the Springfield, Vermont hospital service area.
Column 5 (MHMH % of HSA DCHGs) gives the percentage of all Medicare
enrollee discharges (DCHGs) in an HSA that came from MHMH in 1992-93.
MHMH accounted for 18.1% of the discharges for Medicare enrollees living in
Springfield, Vermont in 1992-93.
