Data Organizations Participating in the NEDS

The NEDS is based on the data collection efforts of data organizations in participating States that maintain statewide data systems and that have partnered with AHRQ. The NEDS would not be possible without the following organizations that contribute data to HCUP. Many of the organizations have websites describing their data or providing statistics based on their State data. Links to these websites are provided below. Not all states appear in every year of the NEDS. See Availability of HCUP Data for a list of Nationwide database participation and availability by year.
