Kitware has taken their recently developed web-visualization tools and pointed them squarely at the newly available hospital procedure cost database released by the US government, and created a nice interactive tool for visualizing various procedure costs by region.

The federal government recently released data about what hospitals charge for procedures, and how much Medicare reimburses them. We have visualized some of this data, along with publicly available data about mortality rates under these same procedures. How does your hospital stack up against national averages?
