HCUP

Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) has six data resources: Nationwide Inpatient Sample; Kids Inpatient Database; Nationwide Emergency Department Sample; State Inpatient Database; State Emergency Department Database; and State Ambulatory Surgery Database. HCUP is a family of health care databases and related software tools and products developed through a federal-state-industry partnership. HCUP databases bring together the data collection efforts of state data organizations, hospital associations, private data organizations and the federal government to create a national information resource of patient-level health care data (HCUP Partners). HCUP includes the largest collection of longitudinal hospital care data in the United States, with all-payer, encounter-level information beginning in 1988. These databases enable research on a broad range of health policy issues, including cost and quality of health services; medical practice patterns: access to health care programs; and outcomes of treatments at the national, state and local market levels. HCUPnet is a free, online query system that provides access to health statistics and information on hospital inpatient and emergency department utilization.

Over 100 clinical and nonclinical variables in a hospital discharge abstract. For some states, patient demographics information includes race; expected payment source (e.g., Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, selfpay, and for some States, additional discrete payer categories, such as managed care); and hospital and county identifiers that permit linkage to the American Hospital Association Annual Survey File and the Area Resource File.

Compendium of Publicly Available Datasets and Other Data-Related Resources. The National Partnership for Action to End Health Disparities has compiled a Compendium of Publicly Available Datasets and Other Data-Related Resources (Compendium). This free resource details publicly available data relevant to research and programs aiming to reduce health disparities. The Compendium compiles in one place descriptions of and links to public datasets and resources that include information about health conditions and other factors that impact the health of minority populations. https://www.minorityhealth.hhs.gov/NPA/Materials/FIHET_Data_Compendium_508_version_FINAL_11_28_2016.pdf
