Available Datasets for Public Use
Main_Content
HSCRC collects various data sets from all acute care
hospitals and licensed specialty hospitals. By legislative mandate (COMAR
10.37.04, 10.37.01.08 and 10.37.06), these hospitals in Maryland are required
to submit to the Commission both financial and confidential patient-level
administrative data (referred to as “case mix data”) on all inpatient and
outpatient hospital visits.
The patient-level case-mix data includes confidential patient-level administrative data abstracted from the medical record of each of the state’s approximately 700,000 inpatient discharges and 5.7 million outpatient visits annually. This data is organized into inpatient and outpatient data sets. Hospitals report clinic, surgery and emergency room data as part of the outpatient dataset.
Hospitals submit financial schedules containing information on hospital financial conditions and utilization on a monthly and annual basis. Annual and Monthly reports are described below.
