| Description |
The Utah Department of Health, with the leadership of the Utah Health Data Committee, has developed an all-payer hospital discharge data reporting system. Since 1992, all licensed Utah hospitals and the Veterans Administration Medical Center have reported on over 200,000 hospitalizations each year. In 1996, two new statewide hospital data bases were established: ambulatory surgery and emergency department encounters and these data will be made publicly available during 1998. This report will highlight hospital utilization patterns and illustrate several different uses of hospital discharge data to monitor cost, quality, and access to support both market and public health uses. |
