For more than 20 years, the Dartmouth Atlas Project has documented glaring variations in how medical resources are distributed and used in the United States. The project uses Medicare data to provide comprehensive information and analysis about national, regional, and local markets, as well as individual hospitals and their affiliated physicians. This Web site provides access to all atlas reports and publications, as well as interactive tools to allow visitors to view specific regions and perform their own comparisons and analyses.

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.
