Subject Coverage [top]

Each ICD code provides the following detail: discharge data (number of primary discharges and all listed discharges for a given year), patient characteristics (gender/age/race/ethnicity breakouts and geographic distribution), visit characteristics (type of provider seen, average time spent with physician, top three reasons for visit, and chronicity of ailment), payment source (authorization requirements, expected source of payment, visit capitation, and patient's HMO status), concomitant diagnoses (top five concomitant diagnoses with discharge frequencies), medications ordered/prescribed (top ten medications prescribed and overall number of medications prescribed), diagnostic/screening services provided (therapeutic/preventive services, imaging tests, and diagnostic tests provided), visit disposition (where patient went after release).

Sources [top]

Data included in the HOP database is derived from the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS), a national probability survey conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). The NCHS is a part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Data includes hospital-based outpatient departments only, and excludes federal, military, and Veterans Administration hospitals as well as free-standing ambulatory care centers without hospital affiliation.
