Market Saturation & Utilization Core-Based Statistical Areas

The Market Saturation and Utilization Core-Based Statistical Areas (CBSA) dataset provides monitoring of market saturation as a means to help prevent potential fraud, waste, and abuse (FWA). CBSAs are geographical delineations that are Census Bureau-defined urban clusters of at least 10,000 people. Market saturation, in the present context, refers to the density of providers of a particular service within a defined geographic area relative to the number of beneficiaries receiving that service in the area. The data can be used to reveal the degree to which use of a service is related to the number of providers servicing a geographic region. There are also a number of secondary research uses for these data, but one objective of making these data public is to assist health care providers in making informed decisions about their service locations and the beneficiary population they serve. The interactive dataset can be filtered and analyzed on the site or downloaded in Excel format.<br><br>***Microdata: Yes Level of Analysis: National; Local - CSBA Area Variables Present: Yes File Layout: .csv Codebook: No Methods: Yes - pdf Weights (with appropriate documentation): No Publications: No Aggregate Data: Yes

核心统计区域（Core-Based Statistical Areas, CBSA）市场饱和度与利用率数据集，旨在通过监测市场饱和度以助力防范潜在的欺诈、浪费与滥用（Fraud, Waste, and Abuse, FWA）。核心统计区域（CBSA）是由美国人口普查局划定的地理边界，指代人口规模不少于1万人的城市聚居区。本数据集语境下的市场饱和度，指特定服务的提供者在划定地理范围内的密度，与该区域内获取该服务的受益人数的相对占比。该数据集可用于揭示某一地理区域内的服务使用情况与服务提供者数量之间的关联程度。此类数据还存在诸多次生研究用途，而将其公开的核心目标之一，是协助医疗服务机构就其服务网点布局与所服务的受益人群做出科学决策。该交互式数据集可在平台上进行筛选与分析，也可通过Excel格式下载获取。
