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. Table 1. Common Conditions for Which a Number of Treatment Alternatives Are Used Condition Major Treatment Alternatives Noncancerous conditions of the uterus Surgery (by type;) hormone treatment; drugs; watchful waiting Angina pectoris Bypass surgery; angioplasty; drugs Gallstones Surgery; stone crushing; medical management; watchful waiting Peripheral vascular disease Bypass surgery; angioplasty; medical management Cataracts Lens extraction (by type); watchful waiting Arthritis of hip and knee Surgery (by type); medical management Prostatism (BPH — benign prostatic hyperplasia) Surgery (by type); balloon dilation; drugs; microwave diathermy; watchful waiting Herniated disc Surgery (by type); various medical management strategies Atherosclerosis of carotid artery with threat of stroke Carotid endarterectomy; aspirin 4 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 6 THE DARTMOUTH ATLAS OF HEALTH CARE: THE SOUTH ATLANTIC STATES Figure 1.1. Allocated Acute Care Hospital Beds in Selected Hospital Service Areas in the New England States Compared to the Boston, Massachusetts and New Haven, Connecticut Hospital Service Areas and to the U.S. Average (1993) 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 given hospital service area to any other area, and, in the case of the physician workforce, to a large health 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. 8 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. 10 THE DARTMOUTH ATLAS OF HEALTH CARE: THE SOUTH ATLANTIC STATES Communicating With Us About the Atlas Our Atlas Home Page on the World Wide Web contains Atlas information, including a summary of Dartmouth related research and electronic copies of some hard-to-find references.

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. 13 14 THE DARTMOUTH ATLAS OF HEALTH CARE: THE SOUTH ATLANTIC STATES Hospital Service Areas Assigned to the

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. 50 THE DARTMOUTH ATLAS OF HEALTH CARE: THE SOUTH ATLANTIC STATES Acute Care Hospital Beds Hospital Beds per 1,000 Residents in HSAs The number of acute care hospital beds per thousand residents varied substantially among the South Atlantic States. The numbers of hospital beds per thousand residents were higher than the national average of 3.3 in the hospital service areas in Washington, D.C. (4.4); Miami Beach, Florida (4.3); Charleston, West Virginia (3.8); and Baltimore, Maryland (3.7). Jacksonville, Florida (3.4); Richmond, Virginia (3.4); Atlanta, Georgia (3.4); and Miami, Florida (3.3) were close to the national average. Wilmington, Delaware (3.1); Charlotte, North Carolina (2.7); Greenville, South Carolina (2.6); and Raleigh, North Carolina (2.5) were below it. The South Atlantic States. The gray horizontal line represents the United States average. Figure 2.1. Acute Care Hospital Beds Allocated to Hospital Service Areas in the South Atlantic States (1993) The number of acute care hospital beds per thousand residents, after adjusting for differences in the age and sex of the local population, varied by a factor of more than 4.4. Each point represents one hospital service area. ACUTE CARE HOSPITAL RESOURCES AND EXPENDITURES 51 52 THE DARTMOUTH ATLAS OF HEALTH CARE: THE SOUTH ATLANTIC STATES Acute Care Hospital Employees Hospital Employees per 1,000 Residents in HSAs The numbers of full time equivalent hospital employees per thousand residents varied from well under the national average of 14.2 to well above it.

ACUTE CARE HOSPITAL RESOURCES AND EXPENDITURES 53 54 THE DARTMOUTH ATLAS OF HEALTH CARE: THE SOUTH ATLANTIC STATES Registered Nurses Employed in Acute Care Hospitals Registered Nurses per 1,000 Residents in HSAs The acute care hospital-employed registered nurse workforce per thousand residents varied substantially among and within the South Atlantic States. Among the region’s larger cities, the numbers of registered nurses per thousand residents were higher than the national average of 3.5 in hospital service areas in Washington, D.C. (5.3); Baltimore (4.8); Wilmington, Delaware (4.5); Atlanta (4.3); Jacksonville, Florida (4.2); Charleston, West Virginia (4.2); and Miami Beach, Florida (4.1). Charlotte, North Carolina (3.7); Miami (3.6); and Raleigh, North Carolina (3.6) were near the national average; Greenville, South Carolina (2.8) was below it. The South Atlantic States. The gray horizontal line represents the United States average. Figure 2.3. Hospital-Based Registered Nurses Allocated to Hospital Service Areas in the South Atlantic States (1993) The acute care hospital-employed registered nurse workforce per thousand residents, after adjusting for differences in the age and sex of the local population, varied by a factor of more than 2.7.

ACUTE CARE HOSPITAL RESOURCES AND EXPENDITURES 55 56 THE DARTMOUTH ATLAS OF HEALTH CARE: THE SOUTH ATLANTIC STATES Total Acute Care Hospital Expenditures Total Hospital Expenditures per capita in HSAs (dollars) Price adjusted per capita expenditures for inpatient and outpatient care delivered by acute care hospitals varied substantially among the South Atlantic States. Among the region’s larger cities, per capita expenditures exceeded the national average of $1,052 in the hospital service areas in Washington, D.C. ($1,455); Charleston, West Virginia ($1,371); Atlanta ($1,326); Baltimore ($1,286); Jacksonville, Florida ($1,239); Wilmington, Delaware ($1,233); Miami Beach, Florida ($1,196); and Greenville, South Carolina ($1,138). Among the areas with expenditures below the national average were Richmond, Virginia ($1,040); Miami ($999); Charlotte, North Carolina ($993); and Raleigh, North Carolina ($860).

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. 75 76 THE DARTMOUTH ATLAS OF HEALTH CARE: THE SOUTH ATLANTIC STATES Medicare Reimbursements for Traditional (Noncapitated) Medicare Price Adjusted Reimbursements for All Services per Medicare Enrollee in HSAs (dollars) Per enrollee reimbursements by the Medicare program for all services tended to be higher in some South Atlantic States than in others; Florida, Georgia, and Maryland had a substantial number of large hospital service areas above the national average, while the majority of large hospital service areas in North Carolina, South 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).

The Adjusted Average per Capita Cost in Hospital Service Areas in the South Atlantic States (1996) The AAPCC in the South Atlantic States varied by a factor of more than 2.5. Each point represents one hospital service area. THE MEDICARE PROGRAM 85 86 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 MEDICARE PROGRAM 87 88 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. THE MEDICARE PROGRAM County and Hospital Service Area Boundaries, Palm Beach County, Florida 89 90 THE DARTMOUTH ATLAS OF HEALTH CARE: THE SOUTH ATLANTIC STATES Benchmarking: Total Medicare Reimbursements Figure 3.6. Price Adjusted Total Reimbursements per Medicare Enrollee in Selected Hospital Service Areas in the South Atlantic States Compared to Highest and Lowest Selected Areas (1992-93) The figure gives the ratios of total Medicare reimbursements per enrollee in selected areas to the highest and lowest ranked areas. It also compares each area to the U.S. average. The number of dollars above (+) or below (-) the level of expenditures predicted by the experience in the benchmark areas for 1992-93 are in parentheses. For example, price adjusted total Medicare expenditures per enrollee in Miami Beach were 1.88 times greater than in Charlotte, North Carolina; if the expenditure pattern for Charlotte in 1992-93 had been attained in Miami Beach, $122 million less would have been spent for Medicare enrollees in Miami Beach. THE MEDICARE PROGRAM Benchmarking: Total Medicare Reimbursements Figure 3.7. Price Adjusted Total Reimbursements per Medicare Enrollee in Selected Hospital Services Areas in the South Atlantic States Compared to Selected Hospital Service Areas Elsewhere in the U.S. (1992-93) The figure gives the ratios of total reimbursements in selected hospital service areas in the South Atlantic States to other areas. The numbers of dollars above (+) or below (-) the level of reimbursements predicted by the experience in the benchmark areas are in parentheses. For example, price adjusted total reimbursements per Medicare enrollee in Miami Beach were 1.97 times greater than in Minneapolis. If the level of expenditures in Minneapolis in 199293 had been attained in Miami Beach, $129 million less would have been spent on Miami Beach residents. If the level of reimbursements in Philadelphia had been attained, $63 million less would have been spent in Miami Beach. 91 92 THE DARTMOUTH ATLAS OF HEALTH CARE: THE SOUTH ATLANTIC STATES Benchmarking: Reimbursements for Professional and Laboratory Services Figure 3.8. Price Adjusted Total Reimbursements for Professional and Laboratory Services per Medicare Enrollee in Selected Hospital Services Areas in the South Atlantic States Compared to Highest and Lowest Ranked Areas (1992-93) The figure gives the ratios of reimbursements for professional and laboratory services in selected areas to the highest and lowest ranked areas. It also compares each area to the U.S. average. The numbers of dollars above (+) or below (-) the amount of reimbursements for professional and laboratory services predicted by the experience in the benchmark areas for 1992-93 are in parentheses. For example, price adjusted expenditures per enrollee in Miami Beach were 2.86 times greater than in Charleston, West Virginia; if the level of expenditures in Charleston in 199293 had been attained in Miami Beach, $68 million less would have been spent for Miami Beach residents. THE MEDICARE PROGRAM Benchmarking: Reimbursements for Professional and Laboratory Services Figure 3.9.

The dollars above (+) or below (-) the amount predicted by the experience in the benchmark area for 1992-93 are in parentheses. For example, price adjusted professional and laboratory expenditures per Medicare enrollee in Miami Beach were 4.22 times higher than in Minneapolis. If the expenditures in Minneapolis in 1992-93 had been attained in Miami Beach, $80 million less would have been spent on professional and laboratory services for Medicare residents of Miami Beach. If the Philadelphia benchmark had applied, $44.0 million less would have been spent in Miami Beach. 93 94 THE DARTMOUTH ATLAS OF HEALTH CARE: THE SOUTH ATLANTIC STATES Benchmarking: AAPCC Figure 3.10. AAPCC in Selected Hospital Service Areas in the South Atlantic States Compared to the Highest and Lowest Ranked Selected Areas (1996). The AAPCC is Not Adjusted for Price Differences. The figure gives the ratio of the AAPCC in selected areas to the highest and lowest ranked areas. It also compares each area to the U.S. average. The numbers of dollars above (+) or below (-) the amount predicted by the experience in the benchmark areas for 1996 are in parentheses. For example, the AAPCC in Miami was 2.11 times greater than in Greenville, South Carolina; if the AAPCC in Greenville in 1996 had been attained in Miami, $580.6 million less would have been spent for Miami residents.

For example, the price adjusted AAPCC in Miami was 1.72 times higher than in Minneapolis. If the price adjusted AAPCC in Minneapolis in 1996 had been attained in Miami, $427.9 million less would have been spent for Medicare residents of Miami. If the price adjusted AAPCC in Philadelphia had been attained, $65.1 million less would have been spent in Miami. 97 98 THE DARTMOUTH ATLAS OF HEALTH CARE: THE SOUTH ATLANTIC STATES 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.

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. 112 THE DARTMOUTH ATLAS OF HEALTH CARE: THE SOUTH ATLANTIC STATES 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. The South Atlantic States. The gray horizontal line represents the United States Figure 4.1. Physicians Allocated to Hospital Service Areas in the South Atlantic States (1993) The number of physicians in active practice per hundred thousand residents, after adjusting for differences in age and sex of the local population, varied by a factor of more than 3.5. Each point represents one hospital service area. THE PHYSICIAN WORKFORCE 113 114 THE DARTMOUTH ATLAS OF HEALTH CARE: THE SOUTH ATLANTIC STATES 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. The South Atlantic States. The gray horizontal line represents the United States average. Figure 4.2. Specialists Allocated to Hospital Service Areas in the South Atlantic States (1993) The number of specialist physicians in active practice per hundred thousand residents, after adjusting for differences in age and sex of the local population, varied by a factor of more than 6.3. Each point represents one hospital service area. THE PHYSICIAN WORKFORCE 115 116 THE DARTMOUTH ATLAS OF HEALTH CARE: THE SOUTH ATLANTIC STATES 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. The South Atlantic States. The gray horizontal line represents the United States average. Figure 4.3. Primary Care Physicians Allocated to Hospital Service Areas in the South Atlantic States (1993) The number of primary care physicians in active practice per hundred thousand residents, after adjusting for differences in age and sex of the local population, varied by a factor of more than 5.8. Each point represents one hospital service area.

The Total Physician Workforce Allocated to Selected Hospital Service Areas in the South Atlantic States Compared to the Highest and Lowest Ranked Selected Areas (1993) The figure gives the ratio of total physicians in selected hospital service areas to the lowest and the highest ranked areas. It also compares each selected area to the U.S. average. The number of physicians above (+) or below (-) the 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 in 1993 had been attained for the residents of Washington, 1,835 fewer physicians would have been needed for the residents of Washington. THE PHYSICIAN WORKFORCE Benchmarking: The Physician Workforce Active in Patient Care Figure 4.5. The Total Physician Workforce Allocated to Selected Hospital Service Areas in the South Atlantic States Compared to Selected Hospital Service Areas Elsewhere in the U.S. and to a Large HMO (1993) The figure gives the ratio of total physicians in selected hospital service areas in the South Atlantic States to other areas. The number of physicians above (+) or below (-) the number of physicians predicted by the experience in the benchmark area is in parentheses. For example, the number of physicians per hundred thousand allocated to the residents of Washington, D.C. was 2.46 times higher than the number allocated to the enrollees of the health maintenance organization. If the level of physician employment of the health maintenance organization benchmark in 1993 had been attained for the residents of Washington, 1,830 fewer physicians would have been needed. If the San Francisco benchmark had applied, 170 more physicians would have been needed. 119 120 THE DARTMOUTH ATLAS OF HEALTH CARE: THE SOUTH ATLANTIC STATES Benchmarking: Specialists Figure 4.6.

It also compares each selected area to the U.S. average. The number of specialist physicians above (+) or below (-) the number predicted by the experience in the benchmark area for 1993 is in parentheses. For example, the number of specialist physicians per hundred thousand allocated to the residents of Washington, D.C. was 2.55 times higher than the number allocated to the residents of Charlotte, North Carolina. If the level of specialist physician employment of the Charlotte benchmark in 1993 had been attained for the residents of Washington, 1,280 fewer specialists would have been needed in Washington.

Specialist Physicians Allocated to Selected Hospital Service Areas in the South Atlantic States Compared to Selected Hospital Service Areas Elsewhere in the U.S. and to a Large HMO (1993) The figure gives the ratio of specialist physicians in selected hospital service areas in the South Atlantic States to other areas. The number of specialist physicians above (+) or below (-) the number of physicians predicted by the experience in the benchmark area is in parentheses. For example, the number of specialists per hundred thousand allocated to the residents of Washington, D.C. was 3.05 times higher than the number allocated to the enrollees of the health maintenance organization. If the level of specialist physician employment of the health maintenance organization benchmark in 1993 had been attained for the residents of Washington, 1,415 fewer specialists would have been needed. If the San Francisco benchmark had applied, 166 fewer specialists would have been needed in Washington. 121 122 THE DARTMOUTH ATLAS OF HEALTH CARE: THE SOUTH ATLANTIC STATES Benchmarking: Primary Care Physicians Figure 4.8. Primary Care Physicians Allocated to Selected Hospital Service Areas in the South Atlantic States Compared to the Highest and Lowest Ranked Selected Areas (1993) The figure gives the ratio of primary care physicians in selected hospital service areas to the lowest and the highest ranked areas. It also compares each selected area to the U.S. average. The number of primary care physicians above (+) or below (-) the number predicted by the experience in the benchmark area for 1993 is in parentheses. For example, the number of primary care physicians per hundred thousand allocated to the residents of Miami Beach was 2.39 times higher than the number allocated to the residents of Charlotte, North Carolina. If the level of primary care physician employment of the Charlotte benchmark in 1993 had been attained for the residents of Miami Beach, 81 fewer primary care physicians would have been needed for residents of Miami Beach. THE PHYSICIAN WORKFORCE Benchmarking: Primary Care Physicians Figure 4.9. Primary Care Physicians Allocated to Selected Hospital Service Areas in the South Atlantic States Compared to Selected Hospital Service Areas Elsewhere in the U.S. and to a Large HMO (1993) The figure gives the ratio of primary care physicians in selected hospital service areas in the South Atlantic States to other areas. The number of primary care physicians above (+) or below (-) the number predicted by the experience in the benchmark area is in parentheses. For example, the number of primary care physicians per hundred thousand allocated to the residents of Miami Beach was 2.07 times higher than the number allocated to the population of Houston. If the level of primary care physician employment of the Houston benchmark in 1993 had been attained for the residents of Miami Beach, 72 fewer primary care physicians would have been needed for the residents of Miami Beach. If the San Francisco benchmark had applied, 39 more primary care physicians would have been needed in Miami Beach. 123 124 THE DARTMOUTH ATLAS OF HEALTH CARE: THE SOUTH ATLANTIC STATES 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.

208.5 69.5 137.2 Huntington Marlinton Martinsburg ts 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. 132 THE DARTMOUTH ATLAS OF HEALTH CARE: THE SOUTH ATLANTIC STATES 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).

THE UTILIZATION OF HOSPITALS FOR MEDICAL AND SURGICAL CONDITIONS 133 134 THE DARTMOUTH ATLAS OF HEALTH CARE: THE SOUTH ATLANTIC STATES Medicare Discharges for Medical Conditions Medical Discharges per 1,000 Medicare Enrollees in HSAs Discharges for medical conditions per thousand Medicare enrollees varied among and within the South Atlantic States, but tended in some areas to be far higher than the U.S. average of 220. Among the region’s larger cities, the numbers of discharges for medical conditions per thousand residents were substantially higher than the national average in Parkersburg, West Virginia (303.5) and Baltimore (261.4). Miami (229.3) and Richmond, Virginia (223.3) were close to the national average; Atlanta (211.9); Washington, D.C. (202.8); Tampa, Florida (202.4); Wilmington, Delaware (201.3); Raleigh, North Carolina (193.9); Charleston, South Carolina (187.5); Columbia, South Carolina (161.3); and Charlotte, North Carolina (152.2) were below it.

Among the region’s larger cities, the numbers of surgical discharges were higher than the U.S. average of 95 per thousand in Baltimore, Maryland (114.9); Richmond, Virginia (107.3); Parkersburg, West Virginia (106.6); and Wilmington, Delaware (99.1). Atlanta (98.4); Charleston, South Carolina (98.1); Washington, D.C. (97.6); and Raleigh, North Carolina (96.8) were near the national average; Tampa, Florida (91.6); Miami (89.2); Charlotte, North Carolina (87.8); and Columbia, South Carolina (86.1) were below it.

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. The South Atlantic States. The gray horizontal line represents the United States average.

THE UTILIZATION OF HOSPITALS FOR MEDICAL AND SURGICAL CONDITIONS 139 140 THE DARTMOUTH ATLAS OF HEALTH CARE: THE SOUTH ATLANTIC STATES 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.

The Relationship Between Discharge Rate for High Variation Medical Conditions and Total Hospital Days in Hospital Service Areas in the South Atlantic States Most of the variation in hospital days for high variation medical conditions among hospital service areas is associated with differences in discharge rates.

The Relationship Between Average Length of Stay (in Days) for High Variation Medical Conditions and Total Hospital Days in Hospital Service Areas in the South Atlantic States The average length of stay explains less of the variation in bed use for high variation medical conditions among hospital service areas (R2=.05) than does the area’s discharge rate. 141 142 THE DARTMOUTH ATLAS OF HEALTH CARE: THE SOUTH ATLANTIC STATES Benchmarking: Discharges for Surgical Procedures Figure 5.7. Discharges for Surgical Procedures per 1,000 Medicare Enrollees in Selected Hospital Service Areas in the South Atlantic States Compared to the Highest and Lowest Ranked Selected Hospital Service Areas (1992-93) The figure gives the ratio of discharges for surgical procedures in selected hospital service areas to the lowest and the highest ranked areas. It also compares each selected area to the U.S. average. The number of surgical discharges above (+) or below (-) the number predicted by the experience in the benchmark area for 1992-93 is in parentheses. For example, the number of surgical discharges per 1,000 Medicare enrollees allocated to the residents of Baltimore was 1.34 times higher than the number allocated to residents of Columbia, South Carolina. If the level of hospitalization of the Columbia benchmark in 1993 had been attained for the residents of Baltimore, 11,010 fewer discharges would have occurred among Baltimore residents.

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.

Bed Allocation and Medicare Reimbursements for Inpatient Services by Hospital Service Area and Hospital by Location 174 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.

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. s 175 176 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. 177 178 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.

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. 179 180 THE DARTMOUTH ATLAS OF HEALTH CARE: THE SOUTH ATLANTIC STATES Medicare Discharges, Patient Days of Care and Inpatient Reimbursements to Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital by HSA and Hospital Referral Region (HRR) of Enrollee Residence, 1992-93 Hospital Service Areas with Ten or Fewer Discharges from MHMH are not Shown HS A t Pa of ien t ig Or in (2) s s Ds A HG SP e for e MP MR th ) HS s) r th P DC HO A s s o n r s f S i n i y o A A A H S f ion s ion s M an H HO SA HS HS HS MH HSA ME mill MH mill m he ME MH ny e H of of of MH e for in of om fro in t MH in % % % n n th n a n th i i s s s $ r $ o s f R ( st s( MH MH MH Ds s i Ds s i HG A HG ME lM A MH MR ME Al HS MH DC of MP ME MP ME DC HS MH (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) (10) (11) Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital, Lebanon, NH Hospital Service Areas with more than 10 Medicare Discharges from Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital Lebanon, NH 3,706 2,762 74.5 24.71 19.70 79.7 30,684 23,861 77.8 Springfield, VT 2,950 533 18.1 15.32 5.19 33.9 22,661 5,375 23.7 Keene, NH 4,010 393 9.8 22.31 4.94 22.1 38,545 4,805 12.5 Claremont, NH 2,007 392 19.5 10.52 3.47 33.0 12,975 3,192 24.6 New London, NH 1,876 345 18.4 10.35 3.49 33.7 13,456 3,510 26.1 Woodsville, NH 1,337 335 25.1 7.69 3.00 39.0 9,274 3,364 36.3 Berlin, NH 2,409 288 12.0 11.63 2.93 25.2 19,065 2,838 14.9 Randolph, VT 1,323 269 20.3 6.87 2.72 39.5 8,812 2,556 29.0 Berlin, VT 4,140 240 5.8 21.59 2.60 12.0 32,610 2,471 7.6 St Johnsbury, VT 1,717 225 13.1 8.33 2.02 24.3 10,461 2,056 19.7 Newport, VT 2,086 217 10.4 9.99 2.33 23.3 12,224 1,915 15.7 Brattleboro, VT 2,035 215 10.6 10.78 2.79 25.9 18,538 2,257 12.2 Lancaster, NH 1,492 168 11.3 7.01 1.85 26.4 10,299 1,592 15.5 Greenfield, MA 5,014 166 3.3 28.61 1.93 6.7 35,780 1,764 4.9 677 131 19.4 3.38 1.04 30.8 4,451 1,032 23.2 Windsor, VT Concord, NH 6,724 131 2.0 38.90 1.40 3.6 62,709 1,412 2.3 Littleton, NH 1,019 129 12.7 5.33 1.21 22.7 6,792 1,279 18.8 Laconia, NH 3,941 127 3.2 22.10 1.00 4.5 29,204 1,355 4.6 Plymouth, NH 1,136 119 10.5 6.43 1.09 16.9 7,903 1,327 16.8 Rutland, VT 6,240 119 1.9 31.77 1.13 3.6 55,757 987 1.8 Franklin, NH 2,037 77 3.8 10.25 0.72 7.0 14,852 1,123 7.6 Bennington, VT 4,505 66 1.5 22.35 0.73 3.3 37,923 710 1.9 Peterborough, NH 1,947 61 3.1 11.48 0.58 5.0 15,842 788 5.0 566 58 10.3 2.56 0.57 22.2 3,929 770 19.6 4.1 Colebrook, NH Wolfeboro, NH Manchester, NH Townshend, VT 2,253 58 2.6 11.81 0.42 3.6 15,178 619 10,834 56 0.5 62.72 0.52 0.8 100,758 789 0.8 332 39 11.8 1.65 0.42 25.1 1,811 266 14.7 Morrisville, VT 1,607 36 2.2 8.57 0.26 3.0 11,925 218 1.8 Nashua, NH 7,690 36 0.5 48.85 0.33 0.7 80,075 302 0.4 Rochester, NH 2,727 31 1.1 15.46 0.26 1.7 22,565 298 1.3 North Conway, NH 1,118 25 2.2 5.92 0.23 3.8 7,729 308 4.0 Northampton, MA 5,761 23 0.4 29.65 0.22 0.7 44,077 189 0.4 Burlington, VT 6,493 13 0.2 41.25 0.11 0.3 62,850 124 0.2 Dover, NH 3,877 13 0.3 21.34 0.12 0.6 32,592 114 0.4 0.2 Glens Falls, NY 10,321 13 0.1 52.59 0.18 0.4 114,229 237 4,428 11 0.3 27.41 0.05 0.2 35,381 88 0.3 Boca Raton, FL 21,085 11 0.1 121.46 0.06 0.1 154,755 117 0.1 Naples, FL 20,662 11 0.1 123.75 0.10 0.1 153,644 83 0.1 Exeter, NH MHMH Totals for All HSAs Served 8,568 76.93 82,589 HOSPITAL BED ALLOCATION AND MEDICARE REIMBURSEMENTS Column 6 (All MRs for MEs in the HSA ($ in Millions) gives the Medicare reimbursements (MRs) for the Medicare enrollees (MEs) living in the HSA independently of the hospital of their choice. Overall Medicare dollars benefiting the Medicare enrollees living in the Springfield, Vermont HSA totaled $24,720,000 in 1992-93. Column 7 (MRs to MHMH for HSA MEs ($ in Millions) gives the Medicare reimbursements (MRs) to MHMH for enrollees who live in the specified HSA. MHMH received $5,190,000 in Medicare reimbursements for serving Medicare enrollees who lived in the Springfield, Vermont hospital service area. Column 8 (MHMH % of HSAs MRs) gives the percentage of all Medicare reimbursements (MRs) benefiting enrollees of an HSA that were received by MHMH.
