Relative contribution of hospital types to total inpatient pediatric surgical volume in Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maryland, and New York in 2014. Rectangle size is proportional to the surgical volume in each hospital type. “High,” “Intermediate,” and “Low” refer to pediatric Hospital Capability Index of 0.75 or higher, 0.25 to 0.74, and less than 0.25, respectively (see text). Children’s Hospitals are independent acute care hospitals caring for children, and Specialty Hospitals are independent inpatient facilities with limited practice scope.
