Hospitals
The Center for Studying Healthcare Markets has published its first policy brief, Hospital Market Concentration in New Hampshire. This brief describes how the degree of market concentration is measured by the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HH) and how it is applied to local hospital markets. It examines the variation within New Hampshire and how the degree of market concentration in the state's local markets has changed over time. The brief concludes by comparing the levels and trends of New Hampshire's hospital market concentration to surrounding states and the U.S. overall.
