Factors Correlated with Patient Mortality

We have used two datasets from Data.gov, which report care metrics and patient outcomes for about 4000 hospitals across the US. The data includes state and county information for each hospital. Individual hospitals are identified by unique ids, which enabled us to conjoin the two datasets. The first dataset contains about 45 attributes describing patient mortality and readmission information for Heart Attack, Heart Failure and Pneumonia. The second dataset also has 45 attributes and contains information about percentage patients undergoing different medical procedures such as blood clot treatment, blood sugar control, beta-blockers usage etc.
