About the graphs
The graphs show how subservice line volumes shifted between outpatient care sites from 2014-2019. The underlying data comes from Optum’s de-identified Clinformatics® Data Mart which is derived from a database of administrative health claims for members of large commercial and Medicare Advantage health plans. This database represents nearly 2.7 billion
visit volumes. 1, 2, 3, 4
How to use the graphs
Use the drop-down menu at the top of the graph to choose your subservice line of interest. Hover over any data point to see what percentage of outpatient volumes were delivered in that specified care site for that year and download each tab’s data by clicking the download button in the bottom left corner of the graph.
We analyzed the source data for these graphs to identify what triggers rapid shift, predict how procedures might shift in the future and understand how shift patterns vary by payer type. Read the related content linked below for our findings.
