ADHS collects hospital discharge records for inpatient and emergency department visits from all Arizona licensed hospitals. These data include deidentified and identified demographics, facilities, discharge diagnoses, and providers.
\n\nHospital discharge data is available in two distinct categories: inpatient and emergency department. Both categories contain approximately 200 fields describing the patient demographics, details about the medical condition, hospital or emergency department stay, discharge status, and charges associated with the stay. There are about 4 times the number of emergency department stays compared to inpatient stays. These data are available as identifiable or as a ‘limited’ data set which doesn’t contain personal identifiers but contains facility and provider information which has not been approved as deidentified. The staff at Research Data Management can provide a completely deidentified data set as well.
\n\nData sets are available for 2015-2024.
