Description
Summary:The Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) is a family of powerful health care databases, software tools, and products for advancing research. Sponsored by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), HCUP includes the largest all-payer encounter-level collection of longitudinal health care data (inpatient, ambulatory surgery, and emergency department) in the United States, beginning in 1988. HCUP is a Federal-State-Industry Partnership that brings together the data collection efforts of many organizations--such as State data organizations, hospital associations, private data organizations, and the Federal government--to create a national information resource. The HCUP Statistical Briefs present simple, descriptive statistics on a variety of specific, focused topics.
