State Ambulatory Surgery Databases (SASD)

The SASD are State-specific files that capture ambulatory surgery records from hospital-based and sometimes freestanding ambulatory surgery centers. The uniform format of the SASD helps facilitate cross-state comparisons. In addition, the SASD are well suited for research that requires complete enumeration of hospital-based ambulatory surgeries within geographic areas or states.

Some documents are provided in Adobe® Acrobat® (PDF) format. The amount of time needed to access a document depends on your machine, browser, and Internet connection. PDF files require the Adobe® Acrobat® Reader™, which can be downloaded free of charge from Adobe®. PDF Help provides instructions on how to work with PDF files.
