The Data

A subset of the data from the case “Health Care Costs for Newborns in Adirondack Hospitals” will be used in this case. The data source is New York State’s Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System (SPARCS) which collects patient-level health care data for the purpose of providing health care organizations with information that will enable them to efficiently and cost effectively deliver services. This data reporting system was established in 1979 and collects data on patient characteristics, diagnoses, treatments, and services for inpatient, ambulatory surgery, emergency department admission, and outpatient visits. We will use the publically available, de-identified data for inpatient stays for 2014 to examine the total costs associated with newborns. Total costs are the actual cost of the services provided; total charges are the amounts charged to insurers.
