Inpatient, Ambulatory Surgeries, Emergency Department Encounters
Public use data sets are designed to provide general health care information to a wide spectrum of users with minimal controls. Considerable efforts were taken to ensure that individual patients cannot be identified from the PDS. Patient’s age, diagnosis codes, physician’s specialty, and payers are grouped and several data elements are encrypted under specific conditions. This data is available in two different data sets on CD ROM. See the online order form or the printable order form for pricing or call 801-538-7048.
