Physical Restructuring and Merger Outcomes in Ontario Hospitals

Barker and Watt's replication data and code supports their analysis of physical restructuring and merger outcomes in Ontario hospitals. The dataset, harvested by Borealis Dataverse, was last updated on October 13, 2025. It contains the materials needed to reproduce tables and figures from the associated research paper.

Use Cases

• Replicate statistical analyses of hospital merger outcomes based on the described research.
• Study the impact of physical restructuring on hospital performance metrics referenced in the paper.
• Conduct secondary analysis on healthcare system efficiency in Ontario using the provided data.

Strengths

• Data is directly linked to a specific, peer-reviewed research paper, providing clear context.
• Includes replication code, which facilitates reproducibility of the original findings.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
