Atlas expands scope of research

By Madison Pauly | February 20, 2012

The Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care will begin investigating health system performance for patients under the age of 65 in addition to their previous research on Medicare recipients, according to Dartmouth Medical School professor and co-principal investigator David Goodman. The Atlas, a collaborative project of Dartmouth professors, researchers and administrators, aims to explore the high degree of geographical variation in health system performance to raise awareness and stimulate policy changes that will improve the quality of care while decreasing costs, DMS professor Elliott Fisher, co-principal investigator of the Atlas, said. While the Atlas' past work was largely based on "20 years of groundbreaking analyses using national Medicare data sets," the new research will involve the analysis of health care for populations under 65 years of age, which are not covered in Medicare data sets, according to Goodman.
