The Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care

The Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care is a research project that analyzes variations in how medical care is delivered across the United States. It examines the differences in healthcare spending, treatment patterns, and outcomes in various regions. By highlighting these disparities, the Atlas aims to inform policy makers, healthcare providers, and the public about the importance of improving efficiency and quality in health care. Its findings encourage a more equitable and effective health system by showing that you don't always get better care with more spending.
