HCUPnet
Based on HCUPnet
HCUPnet is an on-line query system that provides instant access to the largest set of all-payer health care databases that are publicly available. Using HCUPnet's easy step-by-step query system, you can generate tables and graphs on national and regional statistics and trends for acute care hospitals in the U.S. In addition, data are available for those States that have agreed to participate in HCUPnet. HCUPnet is part of the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). HCUPnet also provides statistics based on the AHRQ Quality Indicators (QIs) which have been applied to the HCUP Nationwide Inpatient Sample. These statistics provide insight into potential quality of care problems.

Data Description
- Collection Mode
- HCUP data are based on all-payer claims data collected by government and private sector statewide data organzations from hospitals in each state. HCUP is based on data from community hospitals. Community hospitals are defined as short-term, non-federal, general and other hospitals, excluding hospital units of other institutions (e.g., prisons). HCUP data include OB-GYN, ENT, orthopedic, cancer, pediatric, public, and academic medical hospitals. The data exclude long term care, rehabilitation, psychiatric, and alcoholism and chemical dependency hospitals, but these types of discharges/visits are included if they are from community hospitals.
