1-10 of 13 Resources displayedThis inaugural edition of the Compendium—Compendium of U.S. Health Systems, 2016—is composed of 626 U.S. health systems, defined in this analysis to include at least one hospital and at least one group of physicians providing comprehensive care, and who are connected with each other and with the hospital through common ownership or joint management. The Compendium database includes: System identification number (a unique number assigned by AHRQ), name, home office city, and State. Indicators of which data source identified the health system and health system identification numbers in the originating data source. Total counts of system hospitals, physician groups, physicians, primary care physicians, extent to which systems own or manage hospitals in multiple States, total acute care beds, discharges, and residents. Variables identifying the extent to which systems include investor-owned hospitals, serve children, include teaching hospitals, and serve a disproportionately high share of low-income and uninsured individuals.
These HCUP Statistical Briefs provide general statistics about the cost of hospital stays in the United States, including the most costly conditions (diagnoses) and procedures.
These HCUP Statistical Briefs provide general statistics about hospital stays in the United States, including an overview of the most frequent conditions (diagnoses) seen and the most frequent procedures performed in hospitals.
These HCUP Statistical Briefs provide statistics about potentially preventable or avoidable hospitalizations in U.S. hospitals.
These HCUP Statistical Briefs provide statistics about readmissions to U.S. hospitals, including readmissions involving specific conditions (diagnoses) and procedures.
These HCUP Statistical Briefs provide statistics about hospitalizations in specific types of U.S. hospitals, such as rural and public hospitals.
HCUPnet is a free, on-line query system based on data from HCUP. The system provides health care statistics and information for hospital inpatient, emergency department, and ambulatory settings, as well as population-based health care data on counties.
The Kids' Inpatient Database (KID) is the only all-payer pediatric inpatient care database in the United States, containing data from two to three million hospital stays. Its large sample size is ideal for developing national and regional estimates and enables analyses of rare conditions, such as congenital anomalies, as well as uncommon treatments, such as organ transplantation.
The public sources for health insurance identified in the MEPS include Medicare, TRICARE, Medicaid, SCHIP, and other public hospital/physician coverage. In addition to the tables and publications provided below, data files with annual and monthly insurance indicators, experience with public plans, and more can be downloaded for further analyses.
The National (Nationwide) Inpatient Sample (NIS) is the largest all-payer inpatient care database in the United States, containing data on more than seven million hospital stays. Its large sample size is ideal for developing national and regional estimates and enables analyses of rare conditions, uncommon treatments, and special populations.
