摘要: Small area variation analysis examines the in rates of performance a medical procedure, such as an appendectomy, across geographic areas. The approach is used to identify procedures or DRGs which there too much variation, with goal improving guidelines identifying outlying providers. Unless number per very large, variations analyses present variety statistical challenges. Keywords: small area; variations; geographic; DRG
