Abstract

Master Beneficiary Summary Files (MBSF)

Usage

This dataset page includes some of the tables from the Medicare Data in PHS's possession. Other Medicare tables are included on other dataset pages on the PHS Data Portal. Depending upon your research question and your DUA with CMS, you may only need tables from a subset of the Medicare dataset pages, or you may need tables from all of them.

The location of each of the Medicare tables (i.e. a chart of which tables are included in each Medicare dataset page) is shown here.

The global market for integrated medicine and engineering education is experiencing robust growth, projected at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8% from 2025 to 2033. This expansion is driven by several key factors. Firstly, the increasing demand for healthcare professionals skilled in both medical science and engineering principles is fueling the need for specialized programs. Advances in medical technology, such as robotics, AI, and bioprinting, require professionals with a holistic understanding of both engineering design and its biological applications. Furthermore, the integration of data science and informatics into healthcare necessitates professionals capable of managing and interpreting vast datasets for improved patient care and medical research. The growing aging population, coupled with a rising prevalence of chronic diseases, further intensifies the demand for such skilled individuals. The market is segmented by subject areas including biomedical engineering, health informatics, clinical engineering, and robotics in healthcare; and by course levels, encompassing undergraduate, graduate, and certificate programs. Major players are established universities globally, each with its unique strengths and competitive strategies, focusing on program innovation, industry partnerships, and attracting top faculty. Geographic distribution reveals strong market presence in North America and Europe, owing to established research infrastructure and well-funded educational institutions. However, the APAC region, particularly India and China, shows significant growth potential driven by rapid economic development and increased investment in healthcare infrastructure and education. The market's future growth hinges on sustained investment in research and development, industry-academia collaborations, and government initiatives promoting STEM education. Challenges include the high cost of specialized equipment and training, along with the need for standardized curriculum and accreditation across different regions and institutions. Ultimately, the market's trajectory reflects a critical need for a multidisciplinary approach to address evolving healthcare challenges, presenting substantial opportunities for educational institutions and technology providers alike.
