Vermont Hospital Discharge Data - sporedata/researchdesigneR GitHub Wiki
General description
The Vermont Uniform Hospital Discharge Data System includes information on inpatient discharges, outpatient treatments and services, and emergency rooms. Every data file contains:
- Diagnoses-specific discharge information.
- A few of the patient's sociodemographic features.
- The admittance was for a medical reason.
- The patient received treatment and other services.
- The length and condition of the patient's hospital stay.
- The hospital's complete, total, and service-specific prices.
State agencies, providers, payers, and health care researchers looking for data for health research in the public interest have access to Vermont's extensive hospital discharge data. The patient care continuum, comparative costs and outcomes in acute care hospitals, and avoidable hospitalizations are just a few studies that may be done using these de-identified patient-level data files.
