A calendar-view of appointments at a 25-physician provider group reveals that the majority are booked at the end of the year, at least a month in advance.

50,000 patients show individual pathologies and community trends. Here, we see how three different cohorts’ yearly visits translate to healthcare costs.

In an age of expanding data and increasingly powerful tools to process and visualize it, it’s increasingly difficult to filter out the noise and find meaning in a sea of numbers. With this piece, Arcadia vice president of product development Nick Stepro has fun with this concept by running over 1,000 combinations of metrics.

An updated visualization of Medicare ACO Performance compares risk, enrollment size, cost, and savings for 392 ACOs using a 2017 CMS data set.

In a year, one patient visited an Emergency Department 296 times. How can healthcare networks better serve pain-ridden ED “frequent flyers”?

Looking at the top 32 most provided services, Arcadia visualizes common costs of end-of-life care, from x-rays to CT scans.

Follow the price and popularity of several drugs, from Xeljanz to insulin, as they become mainstays (or lose traction) in the healthcare marketplace.

Mental health and holistic clinical outcomes are undeniably linked. Patients with depression are least likely to keep the appointments they’ve booked.

Where and how we end our lives is an important healthcare concern. Here, an artist visualizes cause of death alongside location, from hospice to home.

A look at how often patients see multiple providers per year, grouped by specialty. Patterns show allegiance to a primary care physician.

Where do we spend our final moments? Data shows that 42% of patients pass away at home, but an almost equal proportion die in hospitals.
