Field notes
The homepage lays out a comparison between construction filings and later operating data, with separate stories on space, beds, closures, regulation, and forecasts. Its listed sources include Medicare cost reports for 6,046 hospitals and state surveys covering every Illinois and North Carolina hospital from 2016 to 2023. The planner uses hospital medians and means to produce different building profiles; the page says only 23 real hospitals are typical across all ten measures.
