Department of State Hospitals Patient Population Demographic (Fiscal Effective Dates: 2010-2020)

In 2022, children and teens are over-represented as health center patients compared to their proportion in the population. This statistic depicts the age distribution of health center patients compared to overall U.S. population as of 2022.

This statistic displays the distribution of selected key hospital demographics in the United States as of 2017. During this year, almost 60 percent of acute care hospitals were not-for-profit hospitals.

U.S. hospital key demographics

There has been an increase in the number of patients as well as the medical costs at hospitals. In 1997, the rate of stays per 1,000 people was 127.7. In 2009, the rate increased to 128.4 stays per 1,000 people. The average cost per stay had also increased from 6,600 U.S. dollars in 1997 to 9,200 U.S. dollars in 2009. Overall hospital revenues in the United States has increased from 762.3 billion U.S. dollars in 2009 to 923 billion U.S. dollars in 2014.

Specialty hospitals have also managed to increase their revenues from 36.36 billion U.S. dollars in 2009 to 42 billion U.S. dollars in 2014. Small specialized hospitals focusing on cardiac, orthopedic, or surgical services have increased in the United States but tend to aggregate in only some states. These hospitals may be able to provide cost efficient work, allow for more patient choice, and increase quality of health care services. However, specialty hospitals have also been criticized for providing patients with services that encourage overutilization and also unfairly focusing on the wealthiest patients.

The acute-care pathway (from the emergency department (ED) through acute medical units or ambulatory care and on to wards) is the most visible aspect of the hospital health-care system to most patients. Acute hospital admissions are increasing yearly and overcrowded emergency departments and high bed occupancy rates are associated with a range of adverse patient outcomes. Predicted growth in demand for acute care driven by an ageing population and increasing multimorbidity is likely to exacerbate these problems in the absence of innovation to improve the processes of care.

Key targets for Emergency Medicine services are changing, moving away from previous 4-hour targets. This will likely impact the assessment of patients admitted to hospital through Emergency Departments.

This data set provides highly granular patient level information, showing the day-to-day variation in case mix and acuity. The data includes detailed demography, co-morbidity, symptoms, longitudinal acuity scores, physiology and laboratory results, all investigations, prescriptions, diagnoses and outcomes. It could be used to develop new pathways or understand the prevalence or severity of specific disease presentations.

These datasets are for a cohort of n=1540 anonymised hospitalised COVID-19 patients, and the data provide information on outcomes (i.e. patient death or discharge), demographics and biomarker measurements for two New York hospitals: State University of New York (SUNY) Downstate Health Sciences University and Maimonides Medical Center.

The file "demographics_both_hospitals.csv" contains the ultimate outcomes of hospitalisation (whether a patient was discharged or died), demographic information and known comorbidities for each of the patients.

The file "dynamics_clean_both_hospitals.csv" contains cleaned dynamic biomarker measurements for the n=1233 patients where this information was available and the data passed our various checks (see https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.11.12.21266248 for information of these checks and the cleaning process). Patients can be matched to demographic data via the "id" column.

Study approval and data collection

Study approval was obtained from the State University of New York (SUNY) Downstate Health Sciences University Institutional Review Board (IRB#1595271-1) and Maimonides Medical Center Institutional Review Board/Research Committee (IRB#2020-05-07). A retrospective query was performed among the patients who were admitted to SUNY Downstate Medical Center and Maimonides Medical Center with COVID-19-related symptoms, which was subsequently confirmed by RT PCR, from the beginning of February 2020 until the end of May 2020. Stratified randomization was used to select at least 500 patients who were discharged and 500 patients who died due to the complications of COVID-19. Patient outcome was recorded as a binary choice of “discharged” versus “COVID-19 related mortality”. Patients whose outcome was unknown were excluded. Demographic, clinical history and laboratory data was extracted from the hospital’s electronic health records.

In the U.S., every hospital that receives payments from Medicare and Medicaid is mandated to provide quality data to The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) annually. This data helps gauge patient satisfaction levels across the country. While overall hospital scores can be influenced by the quality of customer services, there may also be variations in satisfaction based on the type of hospital or its location.

Year: 2016 - 2020

The Star Rating Program, implemented by The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), employs a five-star grading system to evaluate the experiences of Medicare beneficiaries with their respective health plans and the overall healthcare system. Health plans receive scores ranging from 1 to 5 stars, with 5 stars denoting the highest quality.

Benefits:

Historical Analysis: With data spanning from 2016 to 2020, researchers and analysts can observe trends over time, understanding how patient satisfaction has evolved over these years.

Benchmarking: Hospitals can compare their performance against national averages or against peer institutions to see where they stand.

Identifying Areas for Improvement: By analyzing specific metrics and feedback, hospitals can pinpoint areas where their services may be lacking and need enhancement.

Policy and Decision Making: Governments and healthcare administrators can use the data to make informed decisions about healthcare policies, funding allocations, and other strategic decisions.

Research and Academic Purposes: Academics and researchers can use the dataset for various studies, including correlational studies, predictions, and more.

Geographical Insights: The dataset may provide insights into regional variations in patient satisfaction, helping to identify areas or states with particularly high or low scores.

Understanding Factors Affecting Satisfaction: By correlating satisfaction scores with other variables (e.g., hospital type, size, location), it might be possible to determine which factors play the most significant role in patient satisfaction.

Performance Evaluation: Hospitals can use the data to evaluate the efficacy of any interventions or changes they've made over the years in terms of improving patient satisfaction.

Enhancing Patient Trust: Demonstrating transparency and a commitment to improvement can enhance patient trust and loyalty.

Informed Patients: By making such data publicly available, potential patients can make more informed decisions about where to seek care based on the satisfaction ratings of previous patients.

This publication reports on Admitted Patient Care activity in England for the financial year 2022-23. This report includes but is not limited to analysis of hospital episodes by patient demographics, diagnoses, external causes/injuries, operations, bed days, admission method, time waited, specialty, provider level analysis and Adult Critical Care (ACC). It describes NHS Admitted Patient Care Activity, Adult Critical Care activity and performance in hospitals in England. The purpose of this publication is to inform and support strategic and policy-led processes for the benefit of patient care and may also be of interest to researchers, journalists and members of the public interested in NHS hospital activity in England. The data sources for this publication are Hospital Episode Statistics (HES). It contains final data and replaces the provisional data that are released each month. HES contains records of all admissions, appointments and attendances for patients at NHS hospitals in England. The HES data used in this publication are called 'Finished Consultant Episodes', and each episode relates to a period of care for a patient under a single consultant at a single hospital. Therefore, this report counts the number of episodes of care for admitted patients rather than the number of patients. This publication shows the number of episodes during the period, with breakdowns including by patient's age, gender, diagnosis, procedure involved and by provider.

After May 3, 2024, this dataset and webpage will no longer be updated because hospitals are no longer required to report data on COVID-19 hospital admissions, and hospital capacity and occupancy data, to HHS through CDC’s National Healthcare Safety Network. Data voluntarily reported to NHSN after May 1, 2024, will be available starting May 10, 2024, at COVID Data Tracker Hospitalizations. The following dataset provides facility-level data for hospital utilization aggregated on a weekly basis (Sunday to Saturday). These are derived from reports with facility-level granularity across two main sources: (1) HHS TeleTracking, and (2) reporting provided directly to HHS Protect by state/territorial health departments on behalf of their healthcare facilities. The hospital population includes all hospitals registered with Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) as of June 1, 2020. It includes non-CMS hospitals that have reported since July 15, 2020. It does not include psychiatric, rehabilitation, Indian Health Service (IHS) facilities, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) facilities, Defense Health Agency (DHA) facilities, and religious non-medical facilities. For a given entry, the term “collection_week” signifies the start of the period that is aggregated. For example, a “collection_week” of 2020-11-15 means the average/sum/coverage of the elements captured from that given facility starting and including Sunday, November 15, 2020, and ending and including reports for Saturday, November 21, 2020. Reported elements include an append of either “_coverage”, “_sum”, or “_avg”. A “_coverage” append denotes how many times the facility reported that element during that collection week. A “_sum” append denotes the sum of the reports provided for that facility for that element during that collection week. A “_avg” append is the average of the reports provided for that facility for that element during that collection week. The file will be updated weekly. No statistical analysis is applied to impute non-response. For averages, calculations are based on the number of values collected for a given hospital in that collection week. Suppression is applied to the file for sums and averages less than four (4). In these cases, the field will be replaced with “-999,999”. A story page was created to display both corrected and raw datasets and can be accessed at this link: https://healthdata.gov/stories/s/nhgk-5gpv This data is preliminary and subject to change as more data become available. Data is available starting on July 31, 2020. Sometimes, reports for a given facility will be provided to both HHS TeleTracking and HHS Protect. When this occurs, to ensure that there are not duplicate reports, deduplication is applied according to prioritization rules within HHS Protect. For influenza fields listed in the file, the current HHS guidance marks these fields as optional. As a result, coverage of these elements are varied.

IntroductionPeople living with dementia (PwD) admitted in emergency to an acute hospital may be at higher risk of inappropriate care and poorer outcomes including longer hospitalisations and higher risk of emergency re-admission or death. Since 2009 numerous national and local initiatives in England have sought to improve hospital care for PwD. We compared outcomes of emergency admissions for cohorts of patients aged 65+ with and without dementia at three points in time.MethodsWe analysed emergency admissions (EAs) from the Hospital Episodes Statistics datasets for England 2010/11, 2012/13 and 2016/17. Dementia upon admission was based on a diagnosis in the patient’s hospital records within the last five years. Outcomes were length of hospital stays (LoS), long stays (> = 15 days), emergency re-admissions (ERAs) and death in hospital or within 30 days post-discharge. A wide range of covariates were taken into account, including patient demographics, pre-existing health and reasons for admission. Hierarchical multivariable regression analysis, applied separately for males and females, estimated group differences adjusted for covariates.ResultsWe included 178 acute hospitals and 5,580,106 EAs, of which 356,992 (13.9%) were male PwD and 561,349 (18.6%) female PwD. Uncontrolled differences in outcomes between the patient groups were substantial but were considerably reduced after control for covariates. Covariate-adjusted differences in LoS were similar at all time-points and in 2016/17 were 17% (95%CI 15%-18%) and 12% (10%-14%) longer for male and female PwD respectively compared to patients without dementia. Adjusted excess risk of an ERA for PwD reduced over time to 17% (15%-18%) for males and 17% (16%-19%) for females, but principally due to increased ERA rates amongst patients without dementia. Adjusted overall mortality was 30% to 40% higher for PwD of both sexes throughout the time-period; however, adjusted in-hospital rates of mortality differed only slightly between the patient groups, whereas PwD had around double the risk of dying within 30 days of being discharged.ConclusionOver the six-year period, covariate-adjusted hospital LoS, ERA rates and in-hospital mortality rates for PwD were only slightly elevated compared to similar patients without dementia and remaining differences potentially reflect uncontrolled confounding. PwD however, were around twice as likely to die shortly after discharge, the reasons for which require further investigation. Despite being widely used for service evaluation, LoS, ERA and mortality may lack sensitivity to changes in hospital care and support to PwD.

Diagnosis data of patients and patients in hospitals.

The hospital diagnosis statistics are part of the hospital statistics and have been collected annually from all hospitals since 1993. The statistics include information on the main diagnosis (coded according to ICD-10), length of stay, department and selected sociodemographic characteristics such as age, gender and place of residence, among others.

Basic data of hospitals and preventive care or rehabilitation facilities.

The basic data statistics are part of the hospital statistics. The material and personnel resources of hospitals and preventive or rehabilitation facilities and their specialist departments have been reported annually since 1990.

The aggregated data are freely accessible.

Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP) is the leading cause of infectious death and the third leading cause of death globally. Disease severity and outcomes are highly variable, dependent on host factors (such as age, smoking history, frailty and comorbidities), microbial factors (the causative organism) and what treatments are given. Clinical decision pathways are complex and despite guidelines, there is significant national variability in how guidelines are adhered to and patient outcomes.

For clinicians treating pneumonia in the hospital setting, care of these patients can be challenging. Key decisions include the type of antibiotics (oral or intravenous), the appropriate place of care (home, hospital or intensive care), and when it is appropriate to stop antibiotics. Decision support tools to help inform clinical management would be highly valuable to the clinical community.

This dataset is synthetic, formed from statistical modelling using real patient data, and represents a population with significant diversity in terms of patient demography, socio-economic status, CAP severity, treatments and outcomes. It can be used to develop code for deployment on real data, train data analysts and increase familiarity with this disease and its management.
