  The Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care
The Dartmouth Atlas Project has documented three sources of unwarranted variation in the practice of medicine and the use of medical resources across the United States.
The overuse of supply-sensitive care is particularly apparent in the management of chronic illness, where there is often an over-dependence on hospitals and a lack of the infrastructure necessary to support the management of chronically ill patients in non-inpatient settings.
In the absence of medical evidence regarding such questions as when to schedule return visits, when to hospitalize or admit to intensive care, when to refer to a medical specialist, and, for most conditions, when to order a diagnostic or imaging test, the availability of resources tends to govern these decisions.
