Dartmouth Medical Atlas

The Dartmouth interactive medical atlas at http://www.dartmouthatlas.org  provides an outstanding  way to depict data.  Working with a graduate student this morning on her end-of-life and ICU research paper prompted me to explore the website again. The embedded picture below shows percent of deaths associated with ICU admission by area in the country.  You can mouse over any of the sites to see the average percent of deaths.

The data can be downloaded into PowerPoint or an Excel spreadsheet, too.
