The Medicare program maintains exhaustive records of hospitalizations, which makes it possible to define the patterns of use of hospital care. When Medicare enrollees are admitted to hospitals, the program’s records identify both the patients’ places of residence (by ZIP Code) and the hospitals where the admissions took place (by a unique numerical identifier). These files provide a reliable basis for determining the geographic pattern of health care use, because research shows that the migration patterns of patients in the Medicare program are similar to those for younger patients. Medicare records of hospitalizations were used to define 3,436 geographically distinct hospital service areas in the United States. In each hospital service area, most of the care received by Medicare patients is provided by hospitals within the area. There are 109 of these hospital service areas in Michigan. The maps in this section show the location of each of these areas. Hospital service areas have been further aggregated into hospital referral regions, based on the pattern of use of cardiac surgery and neurosurgery. The maps also show the hospital referral regions to which the hospital service areas belong. There are 15 hospital referral regions in Michigan.
