Publications from the HCUP Databases


These publications are based on data from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP), a Federal-State-industry partnership to build a standardized, multi-State health data system. HCUP is maintained by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ).

HCUP comprises a family of administrative longitudinal databases—including State-specific hospital-discharge databases and a national sample of discharges from community hospitals—and powerful, user-friendly software that can be used with both HCUP data and with other administrative databases.
