An updated was release on CRAN on 11/18/16. Changes include:

  • New function price_deflate, which converts Medicare sector spending to constant dollars.
    • For example, price_deflate(100, "ip", 2014, 2007) will convert $100 in 2014 inpatient spending to its equivalent in 2007 dollars. Price deflations are done based on Medicare's published annual price index increases (example).
    • This allows analysis of spending after eliminating increases due to Medicare's payment rate changes.
    • Currently supports: ip, op, phys, snf, hh, hospice, part_b_drugs, part_d_drugs, and other.
    • Years available: 2002 - 2014.

Fixes:

  • Fixed an issue that cr_extract() had when subsetting tibbles instead of traditional dataframes.
  • Fixed some copying errors in the vignettes
