Overall Inpatient Volume Change by County

Source: SCORS, Tableau

Over the next 5 years, Sg2 projects significant growth in outpatient

visits for breast cancer across the state, while growth in inpatient

discharges varies by county

Source: Sg2, TableauNote: Growth projections based on Sg2 Care family for Breast Cancer

National Trends:

• Inpatient demand for breast cancer services will see relatively modest growth over the forecast period. Although outpatient lumpectomy

plus radiation therapy is highly efficacious for most patients, Sg2 anticipates continued patient demand for mastectomies, including

prophylactic procedures and complex reconstructive surgeries. Medical admissions for breast cancer will decline with better management

of treatment toxicities and improved access to end-of-life care.

• Outpatient growth in breast cancer services will be driven by earlier detection, advanced imaging, chemotherapy and increased care

coordination visits. Demand for screening mammography is expected to grow at a rate slightly below a population-based forecast.

Factors increasing demand for mammography services include increased insurance coverage for women under the age of 65 through

exchanges, Medicare expansion and a decreasing unemployment rate.
