| Source Files |
The HCUP Indiana inpatient files were constructed from inpatient discharge files received from the Indiana Hospital & Health Association. |
| Which Hospitals |
The Indiana Hospital & Health Association collects data from acute care, licensed hospitals in Indiana. |
| Inclusion of Stays in Special Units |
The documentation supplied by Indiana indicates that on stays in special units (e.g., psychiatric and rehabilitation) within the hospital are included in the data. Not all hospitals report a full calendar year of data. Some hospitals close during the year; other hospitals have technical problems that prevent them from reporting a full year. |
| Exclusion of Records |
Records with a discharge disposition of "still a patient" and "admitted as an inpatient to this hospital" were excluded from the HCUP Indiana inpatient data. |
