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, although these types of discharges are included if they are from community hospitals.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"section-2\">Identifying records with ED visits<\/h2>\n<p>Identification of ED visits with admission to the same hospital was based on the following information:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A positive charge for emergency department services,<\/li>\n<li>CPT\u00ae codes 99281-99285,<\/li>\n<li>Revenue codes 450-459, or<\/li>\n<li>Admission Source or Point of Origin indicating that ED services were received.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"section-3\">Treat-and-release ED visits<\/h2>\n<p>Hospital encounters in which the patient was seen\/treated in the ED and the visit did not result in the patient being admitted through the ED to the same hospital for inpatient care.<br \/>\nThis includes the following discharge dispositions from the ED visit: routine; home health care; left against medical advice; transferred to a different short-term hospital; transferred to other health facility, including skilled nursing facility and intermediate care; transferred to court\/law enforcement destination; discharged alive from the ED, destination unknown; and died in the ED.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"section-4\">Community-Level Statistics<\/h2>\n<p>HCUPnet provides county- and substate region-level statistical tables and maps for single-year and three-year periods starting in data year 2011 for those States participating in HCUPnet and CLS. Users can obtain population-based information on volume, rates, average length of stay, and hospital costs for inpatient discharges by patient residence county or substate region and by diagnosis or procedure category.<\/p>\n<p>Information can be subdivided further by demographic characteristics such as sex, age group, and payer type. State-level and national benchmarks are presented for comparison.<\/p>\n<p>For further details, see \u201cMethods &#8211; Calculating Community-Level Statistics for HCUPnet\u201d\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/hcup-us.ahrq.gov\/tech_assist\/data_query\/508_Methods_Community_Statistics20220128.pdf \">PDF<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"section-5\">Clinical Classifications Software Refined (CCSR) and Clinical Classifications Software (CCS)<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"background: white;\"><span style=\"font-family: HelveticaNeueforSAS,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: black;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica',sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: #1b1b1b;\">CCSR for International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"background: white;\"><span style=\"color: #1b1b1b;\"><span style=\"font-family: HelveticaNeueforSAS,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica',sans-serif;\">The Clinical Classifications Software Refined (CCSR) for ICD-10-CM diagnoses, used beginning in 2016, aggregates more than 70,000 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes into over 530 clinically meaningful categories.

DRGs change annually; a new version is implemented each October 1 by CMS. As a result, DRG information for the last quarter of each year differs from the DRGs in the first three quarters, although in most years this is a minor change. With the introduction of DRG version 25 in October 2007, the DRG system underwent a major change with the addition and redefinition of numerous DRGs. To avoid this shift in DRG information in HCUPnet for 2007 data, DRG version 24 was retained throughout calendar year 2007 and DRG version 25 was applied beginning with calendar year 2008 data. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"background: white;\"><span style=\"font-family: HelveticaNeueforSAS,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: black;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica',sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: #1b1b1b;\">With the annual changes to the DRGs there are also changes to the DRG labels. The DRG labels prior to version 25 were reviewed and combined to create a label valid across all applicable versions. The same process was used for the labeling of DRGs starting with version 25. Note that the &#8220;CC&#8221; suffix in the DRG labels refers to &#8220;complications and comorbidities;&#8221; the &#8220;MCC&#8221; suffix refers to &#8220;major complications and comorbidities.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"background: white;\"><span style=\"font-family: HelveticaNeueforSAS,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: black;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica',sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: #1b1b1b;\">Since the 4th quarter of 2008, DRGs have required that certain conditions (&#8220;healthcare associated conditions&#8221; or HACs) have accompanying documentation on whether the conditions were present on admission (POA) or originated during the stay. When POA information for these HACs is missing, cases are assigned to a DRG and MDC indicating &#8220;ungroupable,&#8221; thus information on the specific condition or body system was lost. Because DRG and MDC information is used in HCUPnet to provide insight into what conditions are being treated in hospitals, a version of DRGs and MDCs was created without consideration of whether POA information was available. These DRGs and MDCs begin with 2008 data for the National (Nationwide) Inpatient Sample (NIS), Kids\u2019 Inpatient Database (KID), and State Inpatient Databases (SID).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"background: white;\"><span style=\"font-family: HelveticaNeueforSAS,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: black;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica',sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: #1b1b1b;\">More information about POA in HCUP SID data is available in the following HCUP Methods Series report: <\/span><\/span><\/span><a style=\"color: blue; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/hcup-us.ahrq.gov\/reports\/methods\/2015-06.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Examination of the Coding of Present-on-Admission Indicators in HCUP State Inpatient Databases (SID)<\/a><i><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica',sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: #1b1b1b;\">.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"section-8\">General Conditions<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"background: white;\"><span style=\"font-family: HelveticaNeueforSAS,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: black;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica',sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: #1b1b1b;\">HCUPnet categorizes adult inpatient discharges into six hospitalization types in the following hierarchical order: maternal, neonatal, mental health\/substance use, injury, surgical, and medical.

In order to estimate the costs borne by hospitals to provide services to patients, total charges were converted to costs using cost-to-charge ratios based on hospital accounting reports from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). In general, costs are less than charges. For each hospital, a hospital-wide cost-to-charge ratio (CCR) is used because detailed charges are not available in all HCUP States. There is a CCR file for inpatient discharges for use with the National (Nationwide) Inpatient Sample (NIS), Kids\u2019 Inpatient Database (KID), Nationwide Readmission Database (NRD), and State Inpatient Databases (SID), and a CCR file for treat-and-release emergency department visits available for use with the Nationwide Emergency Department Sample (NEDS) and State Emergency Department Databases (SEDD).

The first reason for this difference is that the public use version of the CCR file masks identities of some hospitals by substituting a mean cost-to-charge ratio, while HCUPnet uses unmasked cost-to-charge ratios for all hospitals. The second difference may be because for HCUPnet reporting, inpatient discharges with missing total charges are imputed to be the average total charge for records in the same DRG.\u00a0 For statistics based on the NIS and KID, the DRG averages are calculated within data year.\u00a0 For statistics based on the SID, the DRG averages are calculated within data year and state.

The classification emphasizes urban distinctions and is unique in differentiating between central and fringe counties of large metropolitan areas. Smaller metropolitan counties are subdivided by population.

HCUPnet calculates statistics from SAS datasets. The NIS files available for purchase are ASCII files. Sample weights in the ASCII files are truncated at the fourth decimal place, producing estimates slightly different from those in HCUPnet; however, the differences should be very small. For example, differences in total charges will likely disappear if you round estimates to the nearest $100.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"background: white;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Helvetica',sans-serif; color: #1b1b1b;\">64-bit SAS 9.4 was used to generate the statistics in HCUPNet.

Two specific instances of differences are in the definitions of the maternal and neonatal hospitalization types, and in the version of the CCS software used to classify diagnoses and procedures.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"background: white;\"><span style=\"font-family: HelveticaNeueforSAS,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: black;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica',sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: #1b1b1b;\">The first source of differences lies in how maternal and neonatal records are defined. For HCUPnet, the definitions of maternal and neonatal use Major Diagnostic Categories (MDCs) to classify diagnosis codes. For Fast Stats, the definitions of maternal and neonatal use MDCs beginning with data year 2016 and rely on the Clinical Classifications Software (CCS) for data years prior to 2016. Compared with using MDCs, the CCS approach assigns approximately 0.9 percent fewer cases to &#8220;maternal\u201d because a maternal discharge is classified into a mental health CCS or a substance use CCS when the set of diagnosis codes includes a mental health or substance abuse condition along with a maternal condition (e.g., drug dependence in pregnancy). Similarly, compared with the MDC approach, the CCS approach assigns 0.1 percent fewer cases to \u201cneonatal\u201d because a neonatal discharge is classified into a substance use CCS when the set of diagnosis codes includes a drug effect on the fetus or neonatal drug withdrawal. The CCS approach assigns another 0.1 percent fewer cases to \u201dneonatal\u201d than the MDC approach because neonatal septicemia is assigned to the septicemia CCS rather than a neonatal CCS.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"background: white;\"><span style=\"font-family: HelveticaNeueforSAS,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: black;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica',sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: #1b1b1b;\">A second source of differences lies in the timing of analysis. During the redesign of HCUPnet, the most recent version of the CCS software (v2015) was used for all years of diagnosis and procedure statistics prior to 2016. Version 2021.2 of the diagnosis CCSR and version 2021.1 of the procedure CCSR was used for years 2016-2019 statistics. Version 2022.1 of the diagnosis and procedure CCSR was used for year 2020. Version 2023.1 of the diagnosis and procedure CCSR was used for year 2021. For Fast Stats, the CCS categories are assigned to the National (Nationwide) Inpatient Sample (NIS) based on the most current CCS software. This affects the numbering scheme, counts, and labels for the CCS.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"background: white;\"><span style=\"font-family: HelveticaNeueforSAS,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: black;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica',sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: #1b1b1b;\">As new data are loaded to HCUPnet, the CCSR software version used will be listed here.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"section-25\">Population-based Rates<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"background: white;\"><span style=\"font-family: HelveticaNeueforSAS,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: black;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica',sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: #1b1b1b;\">Population-based rates are calculated using national population estimates that correspond to the year of HCUP data.
