An AHRQ Project
HCUPnet is a free, on-line query system based on data from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP). It provides access to health statistics and information on hospital inpatient and emergency department utilization.

HCUPnet overview
HCUPnet is an on-line query system that gives you instant access to the largest set of all-payer health care databases that are publicly available. Using HCUPnet’s easy step-by-step query system, you can generate tables and graphs on national and regional statistics and trends for community hospitals in the U.S. In addition, community hospital data are available for those States that have agreed to participate in HCUPnet.
Community hospitals are defined as short-term, non-federal, general and other hospitals, excluding hospital units of other institutions (e.g., prisons). National and regional HCUP data include OB-GYN, ENT, orthopedic, cancer, pediatric, public, and academic medical hospitals. They exclude long term care, rehabilitation, psychiatric, and alcoholism and chemical dependency hospitals, but these types of discharges are included if they are from community hospitals.
The HCUP Project
HCUPnet is part of the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). HCUPnet generates statistics using data from HCUP’s Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS), the Kids’ Inpatient Database (KID), the State Inpatient Databases (SID) and the State Emergency Department Databases (SEDD). These databases and HCUPnet would not be possible without the statewide data collection projects that provide data to HCUP. You can purchase many HCUP databases to do more detailed analyses not possible through HCUPnet. For more information on purchasing HCUP data go to: HCUP Central Distributor Web site
HCUPnet also provides statistics based on the AHRQ Quality Indicators (QIs) which have been applied to the HCUP Nationwide Inpatient Sample. These statistics provide insight into potential quality of care problems. You can download software for the QIs from the Quality Indicators Web site and apply them to your own data.
Assessment
Data from the following statewide data organizations appear in HCUPnet as part of the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS), the Kids’ Inpatient Database (KID), State Inpatient Databases (SID) or as State Emergency Department Databases (SEDD):
