  ABSTRACT: This study reviewed recent changes in health care utilization in the health care providers of Syracuse, New York. The data indicated the largest decline in the numbers of inpatient volumes involved adult surgery and orthopedics. Numbers of inpatient discharges for this service declined by more than 2900 discharges for the combined Syracuse hospitals. The data also indicated that adult medicine discharges declined by more than 2600 during this time. For Diagnosis Related Groups with discharge differences of 30 or more, adult medicine discharges declined by 451 in neurology, 943 in respiratory medicine, and 625 in circulatory medicine. It was estimated that the value of the inpatient discharges amounted to approximately $1,740,000 in adult surgery and more than $1,560,000 for adult medicine. The savings that were achieved in this process related to staffing, pharmaceuticals, and testing.
