The

Department and Outpatient Department public use micro-data files have
been re-released to include masked sample design variables and are now
available for
downloading. Please be sure to download the
new
supplemental documentation
file (supp92.pdf), which explains the new variables and other minor modifications to the file,
and which should be used in conjunction with the original documentation
file.
SAS

Stata
Files for 2006 Are Now Available!
Stata .do and .dct files are now available for the 2006

NHAMCS public use files. As with the 2005 data release, Stata users also have
the option to download fully prepared Stata datasets (these are .exe

their own files. (2/9/06)

"ER
Care in Critical Condition"-- NBC Nightly News
with Brian Williams, 8/6/2008
"Emergency
Room Waits Getting Longer: In 1997, a typical ER adult patient waited 22

extra 1,550 years that Americans spent waiting in EDs' write the
researchers."--CBS News, 1/17/08
"Emergency
Care Waits Found to Be on Rise: Patients are waiting longer for
care in the nation's emergency rooms, a potentially deadly result of the

emergency services, according to a new study by researchers at Harvard
Medical School."--Washington Post, 1/15/08
