Medicare Quality-Spending Interactive Map

The Commonwealth Fund has released an interactive map showing the correlation between Medicare quality and spending. It’s easy as 1-2-3!  Here is how the website explains its use:

To view the relationship between health care quality and spending in your state or local area, use the graph, known as a scatter plot, or map. Choose a health care setting, such as hospitals, and then a quality measure to view performance. Curious about how your region compares to someplace else? Click on your selected location and then drag your mouse to the state or local area you want to compare it to and hover. You can see which location has lower spending and higher quality relative to the U.S. median.
