Enhancing the value of Statewide Hospital Discharge Data: improving clinical content and race-ethnicity data.
To foster successful approaches to enhancing state data, AHRQ awarded eight 3-year grants to explore methods to improve the clinical content and race/ethnicity information in these databases. This editorial announces an HSR Special Issue, sponsored by AHRQ, that focuses on the products and lessons learned from these grant projects. Seven articles cover background information on statewide hospital discharge data and the grant program aims, challenges, and lessons learned.
