The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) created SyH-DR from eligibility and claims files for Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurance plans in calendar year 2016. SyH-DR contains data from a nationally representative sample of insured individuals for the 2016 calendar year. SyH-DR uses synthetic data elements at the claim level to resemble the marginal distribution of the original data elements. SyH-DR person-level data elements are not synthetic, but identifying information is aggregated or masked.

[IMPORTANT NOTE: Sample file posted on Datarade is not the complete dataset, as Datarade permits only a single CSV file. Visit https://www.careprecise.com/healthcare-provider-data-sample.htm for more complete samples.] Updated every month, CarePrecise developed the AHD to provide a comprehensive database of U.S. hospital information. Extracted from the CarePrecise master provider database with information all of the 6.3 million HIPAA-covered US healthcare providers and additional sources, the Authoritative Hospital Database (AHD) contains records for all HIPAA-covered hospitals. In this database of hospitals we include bed counts, patient satisfaction data, hospital system ownership, hospital charges and cases by Zip Code®, and more. Most records include a cabinet-level or director-level contact. A PlaceKey is provided where available.

The AHD includes bed counts for 95% of hospitals, full contact information on 85%, and fax numbers for 62%. We include detailed patient satisfaction data, employee counts, and medical procedure volumes.

The AHD integrates directly with our extended provider data product to bring you the physicians and practice groups affiliated with the hospitals. This combination of data is the only commercially available hospital dataset of this depth.

NEW: Hospital NPI to CCN Rollup A CarePrecise Exclusive. Using advanced record-linkage technology, the AHD now includes a new file that makes it possible to mine the vast hospital information available in the National Provider Identifier registry database. Hospitals may have dozens of NPI records, each with its own information about a unit, listing facility type and/or medical specialties practiced, as well as separate contact names. To wield the power of this new feature, you'll need the CarePrecise Master Bundle, which contains all of the publicly available NPI registry data. These data are available in other CarePrecise data products.

Counts are approximate due to ongoing updates. Please review the current AHD information here: https://www.careprecise.com/detail_authoritative_hospital_database.htm

The AHD is sold as-is and no warranty is offered regarding accuracy, timeliness, completeness, or fitness for any purpose.

The largest all-payer ambulatory surgery database in the United States, the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) Nationwide Ambulatory Surgery Sample (NASS) produces national estimates of major ambulatory surgery encounters in hospital-owned facilities. Major ambulatory surgeries are defined as selected major therapeutic procedures that require the use of an operating room, penetrate or break the skin, and involve regional anesthesia, general anesthesia, or sedation to control pain (i.e., surgeries flagged as "narrow" in the HCUP Surgery Flag Software). Unweighted, the NASS contains approximately 9.0 million ambulatory surgery encounters each year and approximately 11.8 million ambulatory surgery procedures. Weighted, it estimates approximately 11.9 million ambulatory surgery encounters and 15.7 million ambulatory surgery procedures. Sampled from the HCUP State Ambulatory Surgery and Services Databases (SASD) and State Emergency Department Databases (SEDD) in order to capture both planned and emergent major ambulatory surgeries, the NASS can be used to examine selected ambulatory surgery utilization patterns. Developed through a Federal-State-Industry partnership sponsored by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, HCUP data inform decision making at the national, State, and community levels. The NASS contains clinical and resource-use information that is included in a typical hospital-owned facility record, including patient characteristics, clinical diagnostic and surgical procedure codes, disposition of patients, total charges, facility characteristics, and expected source of payment, regardless of payer, including patients covered by Medicaid, private insurance, and the uninsured. The NASS excludes data elements that could directly or indirectly identify individuals, hospitals, or states. The NASS is limited to encounters with at least one in-scope major ambulatory surgery on the record, performed at hospital-owned facilities. Procedures intended primarily for diagnostic purposes are not considered in-scope. Restricted access data files are available with a data use agreement and brief online security training.

Abstract

The NIS is the largest publicly available all-payer inpatient healthcare database designed to produce U.S. regional and national estimates of inpatient utilization, access, cost, quality, and outcomes. Unweighted, it contains data from around 7 million hospital stays each year. Weighted, it estimates around 35 million hospitalizations nationally. Developed through a Federal-State-Industry partnership sponsored by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), HCUP data inform decision making at the national, State, and community levels.

Its large sample size is ideal for developing national and regional estimates and enables analyses of rare conditions, uncommon treatments, and special populations.

Important notes about the 2015 data

In 2015, AHRQ restructured the data as described here:

https://hcup-us.ahrq.gov/db/nation/nis/2015HCUPNationalInpatientSample.pdf

Some key points:

• For the 2015 data, all diagnosis and procedure data elements, including any data elements derived from diagnoses and procedures, were moved out of the Core File and into the Diagnosis and Procedure Groups Files.
• Prior to 2015, and for Q1-3 of 2015, the DX1-30 and PR1-15 variables (which use ICD-9 codes) variables were used, but starting in Q4 of 2015, the I10_DX1-30 and I10_PR1-I10-15 (which use ICD-10 codes) were used. The best way to identify discharges for quarter 1-3 or quarter 4 is based on the value of the diagnosis version (DXVER); For quarters 1-3, DXVER has a value of 9; while for quarter 4, DXVER has a value of 10.
• Some other variables also transitioned in Q4 of 2015. Please refer to the link above for more details.
• Starting in 2016, the diagnosis and procedure information returned to the Core file. Additional details about the data in 2016 are available here: https://hcup-us.ahrq.gov/db/nation/nis/NISChangesBeginningDataYr2016.pdf

The National Health Data System (SNDS) will make it possible to link:

• health insurance data (SNIIRAM database);
• hospital data (PMSI database);
• the medical causes of death (base of the CépiDC of Inserm);
• disability-related data (from MDPH - CNSA data);
• a sample of data from complementary health insurance organisations.

The first two categories of data are already available and constitute the first version of the SNDS. The medical causes of death should feed the SNDS from the second half of 2017. The first data from the CNSA will arrive from 2018 and the sample of complementary organizations in 2019.

The purpose of the SNDS is to make these data available in order to promote studies, research or evaluations of a nature in the public interest and contributing to one of the following purposes:

• health information;
• the implementation of health policies;
• knowledge of health expenditure;
• informing professionals and establishments about their activities;
• innovation in the fields of health and medico-social care;
• monitoring, surveillance and health security.

IMA-AIM can provide you with detailed data on the health care system in Belgium. Their data collection includes information on the reimbursed care and medicines of the 11 million citizens insured in our country. The data is collected by the 7 health insurance funds and processed, analysed and made available for research by IMA-AIM.

The seven health insurance funds in Belgium collect a lot of data about their members in order to be able to carry out their tasks. IMA-AIM brings these data together in databases for the purpose of analysis and research. The databases contain three types of data: population data (demographic and socio-economic characteristics), information about reimbursed health care and information about reimbursed medicines.

The Permanent Sample (EPS) is a longitudinal dataset containing data from the Population, Health Care and Pharmanet databases, as well as data on hospitalisations. The data are available in separate datasets per calendar year. The aim of EPS is to make the administrative data of the health insurance funds permanently available to a number of federal and regional partners. More information about the EPS: https://metadata.ima-aim.be/nl/app/bdds/Ps

There are several Microsoft Word documents here detailing data creation methods and with various dictionaries describing the included and derived variables.The Database Creation Description is meant to walk a user through some of the steps detailed in the SAS code with this project.The alphabetical list of variables is intended for users as sometimes this makes some coding steps easier to copy and paste from this list instead of retyping.The NIS Data Dictionary contains some general dataset description as well as each variable's responses.

The Open Database of Healthcare Facilities (ODHF) is a collection of open data containing the names, types, and locations of health facilities across Canada. It is released under the Open Government License - Canada. The ODHF compiles open, publicly available, and directly-provided data on health facilities across Canada. Data sources include regional health authorities, provincial, territorial and municipal governments, and public health and professional healthcare bodies. This database aims to provide enhanced access to a harmonized listing of health facilities across Canada by making them available as open data. This database is a component of the Linkable Open Data Environment (LODE).

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ, formerly the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research) maintains the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP). HCUP is a Federal-State-industry partnership to build a standardized, multi-State health data system. AHRQ has taken the lead in developing HCUP databases, Web-based products, and software tools and making them available for restricted access public release.

HCUP comprises a family of administrative longitudinal databases-including State-specific hospital-discharge databases and a national sample of discharges from community hospitals.

HCUP databases contain patient-level information compiled in a uniform format with privacy protections in place. * The Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) includes inpatient data from a national sample (about 20% of U.S. community hospitals) including roughly 7 million discharges from about 1,000 hospitals. It is the largest all-payer inpatient database in the U.S.; data are now available from 1988-1998. The NIS is ideal for developing national estimates, for analyzing national trends, and for research that requires a large sample size. * The State Inpatient Databases (SID) cover individual data sets in community hospitals from 22 participating States that represent more than half of all U.S. hospital discharges. The data have been translated into a uniform format to facilitate cross-State comparisons. The SID are particularly well-suited for policy inquiries unique to a specific State, studies comparing two or more States, market area research, and small area variation analyses.

• The State Ambulatory Surgery Databases (SASD) contain data from ambulatory care encounters in 9 participating States. The SASD capture surgeries performed on the same day in which patients are admitted and released form hospital- affiliated ambulatory surgery sites. The SASD are well suited for research that requires complete enumeration of hospital-based ambulatory surgeries within market areas and States.

• The project's newest restricted access public release is the Kids' Inpatient Database (KID), containing hospital inpatient stays for children 18 years of age and younger. Researchers and policymakers can use the KID to identify, track, and analyze national trends in health care utilization, access, charges, quality, and outcomes. The KID is the only all-payer inpatient care database for children in the U.S. It contains data from approximately 1.9 million hospital discharges for children. The data are drawn from 22 HCUP 1997 State Inpatient Databases and include a sample of pediatric general discharges from over 2,500 U.S. community hospitals (defined as short-term, non-Federal, general and specialty hospitals, excluding hospital units of other institutions). A key strength of the KID is that the large sample size enables analyses of both common and rare conditions; uncommon treatments, and organ transplantation. The KID also includes charge information on all patients, regardless of payer, including children covered by Medicaid, private insurance, and the uninsured.

  HCUP also contains powerful, user-friendly software that can be used with both HCUP data and with other administrative databases. The AHRQ has developed three powerful software tools Quality Indicators (QIs), Clinical Classification Software (CCS) and HCUPnet. See more on the agency's webpages.

The Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) National Inpatient Sample (NIS) is the largest publicly available all-payer inpatient care database in the United States. The NIS is designed to produce U.S. regional and national estimates of inpatient utilization, access, cost, quality, and outcomes. Unweighted, it contains data from more than 7 million hospital stays each year. Weighted, it estimates more than 35 million hospitalizations nationally. Developed through a Federal-State-Industry partnership sponsored by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), HCUP data inform decision making at the national, State, and community levels. Starting with the 2012 data year, the NIS is a sample of discharges from all hospitals participating in HCUP, covering more than 97 percent of the U.S. population. For prior years, the NIS was a sample of hospitals. The NIS allows for weighted national estimates to identify, track, and analyze national trends in health care utilization, access, charges, quality, and outcomes. The NIS's large sample size enables analyses of rare conditions, such as congenital anomalies; uncommon treatments, such as organ transplantation; and special patient populations, such as the uninsured. NIS data are available since 1988, allowing analysis of trends over time. The NIS inpatient data include clinical and resource use information typically available from discharge abstracts with safeguards to protect the privacy of individual patients, physicians, and hospitals (as required by data sources). Data elements include but are not limited to: diagnoses, procedures, discharge status, patient demographics (e.g., sex, age), total charges, length of stay, and expected payment source, including but not limited to Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, self-pay, or those billed as ‘no charge’. The NIS excludes data elements that could directly or indirectly identify individuals. Restricted access data files are available with a data use agreement and brief online security training.

In a historical and developmental sense, the former one-year reporting on employees employed in healthcare grew during 1990/91. in the continuous collection and monitoring of data through the state Register of Health Professionals. The department maintains data on all healthcare workers and healthcare associates, and on administrative and technical staff for now only numerically, according to the number of permanent employees at the end of the year. In the future, it is intended to register employees who are not health-oriented and work in healthcare, and healthcare professionals who work outside the healthcare system can also be registered.

Data on health workers and health care associates are required to be submitted not only by state and county-owned health institutions, but also by all private institutions, health workers who independently perform private practice, as well as trading companies for the performance of health activities, regardless of whether they have a contract with the Croatian Institute for health insurance.

All employees are assigned a registration number (code) upon entry into the Registry's database on the day of employment. The connection with the Croatian Health Insurance Institute exists through the use of the registration number when registering, recognizing within the CEZIH system, as well as when registering prescriptions, referrals and other documents of the HZZO. that is, in monitoring and building the health information system.

As an integral part of the same, relational databases also include data on health organizational units, representing the Register of Health Institutions. Namely, in addition to data on employees, the Registry, based on the decision of the Ministry of Health on work authorization, also records basic data on health institutions, surgeries and all other types of independent health units, regardless of the contract with the Croatian Health Insurance Institute or the type of ownership. As for employees, received data on the opening, closing, change of name, address, type and activity of the health organizational unit is also updated daily.

Thus, the organizational structure of healthcare is monitored through the database, according to levels of healthcare, types of healthcare institutions, healthcare activities performed by institutions, divisions with regard to the type of ownership as well as territorial distribution.

In addition to the importance of data on human potential and space, that is, the units where health care is provided, medical equipment is also an important factor in management and planning. One part of the department's work is related to the collection of data on this material resource. In the near future, it is planned to form a Register of Medically Expensive Equipment, which would be technologically and functionally connected with the existing two registers into a whole register of resources in healthcare.

Also, the statistical research aims to include those entities that are not part of the health system, and in which health workers work, i.e. health activities are performed, such as long-term care homes, which means expanding the existing data of the Register of Health Institutions.

In the last decade, a new IT application of the Registry of Health Care Professionals was created and an even better connection with the Croatian Institute for Health Insurance, for example through the use of the so-called population register or the register of insured persons. The register continues to be the source of data and the authorized institution for the delivery of data to international bodies such as the WHO and the joint WHO/Eurostat/OECD database. Within the scope of the Department's activities are also activities in international initiatives and programs, and with regard to the problems of statistical monitoring, shortages and planning of health workers. Since 2012, we have been involved in the implementation of the "Global Code of Practice on International Recruitment of Health Personnel", a recommendation that is also an instrument in the regulation, improvement and establishment of standards in the migration process.

In the same year, the Department was involved in the work in the part of the program platform on the topic of Joint Action on European Health Workforce Planning and Forecasting.

Also, during the past years, there has been cooperation on the topic of health workers within the framework of the South-eastern Europe Health Network (SEEHN).

A 10,000-patient database that contains in total 10,000 virtual patients, 36,143 admissions, and 10,726,505 lab observations.

The Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) Nationwide Emergency Department Sample (NEDS) is the largest all-payer emergency department (ED) database in the United States. yielding national estimates of hospital-owned ED visits. Unweighted, it contains data from over 30 million ED visits each year. Weighted, it estimates roughly 145 million ED visits nationally. Developed through a Federal-State-Industry partnership sponsored by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, HCUP data inform decision making at the national, State, and community levels. Sampled from the HCUP State Inpatient Databases (SID) and State Emergency Department Databases (SEDD), the HCUP NEDS can be used to create national and regional estimates of ED care. The SID contain information on patients initially seen in the ED and subsequently admitted to the same hospital. The SEDD capture information on ED visits that do not result in an admission (i.e., treat-and-release visits and transfers to another hospital). Developed through a Federal-State-Industry partnership sponsored by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, HCUP data inform decision making at the national, State, and community levels. The NEDS contain information about geographic characteristics, hospital characteristics, patient characteristics, and the nature of visits (e.g., common reasons for ED visits, including injuries). The NEDS contains clinical and resource use information included in a typical discharge abstract, with safeguards to protect the privacy of individual patients, physicians, and hospitals (as required by data sources). It includes ED charge information for over 85% of patients, regardless of expected payer, including but not limited to Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, self-pay, or those billed as ‘no charge’. The NEDS excludes data elements that could directly or indirectly identify individuals, hospitals, or states.Restricted access data files are available with a data use agreement and brief online security training.
