Medicare data

Medicare data includes information about healthcare services for people aged 65 and older or with certain disabilities. It tracks details like hospital visits, doctor visits, treatments, costs, and patient outcomes. This data helps policymakers, healthcare providers, and researchers analyze trends, improve care quality, manage expenses, and ensure the program effectively supports beneficiaries. Think of it as a detailed report card that guides improvements in how healthcare is delivered to our older population and those with specific health needs.
