What type of information did SHAPE examine?
The SHAPE study was a data-driven analysis that looked at the current state of healthcare utilization and services, trends in the healthcare market, national comparisons, and projected scenarios for 2006. The study examined the unique characteristics of Rhode Island’s population and analyzed the capacity of our healthcare system to meet current and projected needs. It provides insight into where Rhode Island is likely to have shortages and where it may have further capacity to grow.
