I'm wondering how you found obesity data on countyhealthrankings.com for 2012. All of their recent datasets (including 2013 now) say this variable's data come from 2009.

Was there a decline in the obesity growth rate because the obese people were dying?

Hello,
I'm wondering if you have specific statistics on cardiac rehabilitation after discharge and if so, whether it is specific to a given place, or whether the statistics are grouped in another way.

Thank you,

Good information leads to savings...especially in the health care field. There certainly is plenty of savings that can be found.

How do these numbers compare to prior years? As more patients lose insurance, go on Medicaid, or have insurance that requires deductibles, we are seeing a significant drop in outpatient primary care office visits of all kinds, including annual peventive vists and urgent care/sick visits, much to our surprise.

Thank you for the comment, Doug.

For this outpatient visit study, there are no physician office visits included. The sources for this data are NHAMCS, Esri (for population and demographics), and Stratasan.

We also provide reports on physician office visits. The sources for those reports are NAMCS, Esri, and Stratasan.

Let us know if you have further questions.

Hi, first thank you much for sharing this information.

Can you provide any insights on the definition of what is included in outpatient visits? I.e. does it include strictly hospital-based outpatient visits, does it include clinic or practice visits for physicians that are employed by hospitals, etc

This is a great post. Identifying trends in the data allows for providers across the continuum of care to understand their markets, and alter their strategies accordingly. As a user of Stratasan's systems, I am able to identify where underserved patients live. This in turn helps me make our communities healthier, and will help turn those trends in the other direction.

Hello, Mridul.

The source for the outpatient reports used for this post are The National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS) from the CDC and Census data provided by Esri.

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Well, yeah. And, they're "dispersed" socioeconomically as well. The many works of Joe Flower, J.D. Kleinke, Atul Gawande -- as well as Gladwell's "Maral Hazard Myth" (http://www.gladwell.com/200... have pointed out and bemoaned this.

Ideology, though, continues to hold inertial sway.

This is a very interesting post! I don't have access to the data, but I believe the behavior you expected (Patient Days decreasing) actually is occurring as the number of Patient Days per Inpatient dropped from 5.87 to 5.79 - which is a statistically significant shift in data. Perhaps that change is caused by older boomers dying (bolstering the $ on your last day note), just not at a fast enough rate (yet) to stem the tide of the raw Patient Days figures as boomers flood into the system.

It woukld be interesting to see what percentage of these visits are for preventive services and if that number goes up with the new healthcare law.
