Do approved operating rooms get built and used?

Hospitals that ask a state to approve new operating rooms (ORs) forecast how much they will be used. This story will set those approvals against the rooms hospitals later report having and the hours they report using them.

The data for this story is still in progress.

Matching approved projects to what was later built, and checking those matches, is not finished. Until it is, this page shows no chart and no figures.

Meanwhile, the benchmark compares the space in Illinois surgery plans with the state's standard, and the methods describe the sources.
