Good point. Teaching hospitals probably get more complex cases, so that is a nuance that should be considered as well. It would also be neat to see how outcomes relate to obesity scores for the area, walkability, crime, etc. We did not find find coorelation between outcome and price. If you click on the hospital icons, the second and third tabs show some aggregate outcomes measures.
