Healthcare data analysis

Healthcare data,
made legible.

Wes Little turns public claims, cost reports, and quality files into answers. Below, a decade of Medicare drawn one county at a time, and two interactive atlases that open with a free account.

The managed care decade.

Medicare Advantage went from a coastal option to the center of gravity. Three cuts of the same enrollment file: the 2015 to 2026 shift, today's split, and how Part D rides along.

BRIDGE
From the GLP-1 Bridge atlas

An 18 month window, mapped.

The Medicare Bridge program opened July 1, 2026: Part D coverage of GLP-1s for weight management itself. The atlas passes every county and every physician panel through the actual eligibility gates.

Half a million clinicians, one bench.

Who

Wes Little.

I build healthcare data systems and the analyses that ride on top of them. My work lives in home health, hospice, and post acute care, where the public data is rich and rarely used well.

The map above is one dataset asked five ways. If you have a question the public record can answer, I can usually get you there faster than you expect.
