Abstract:
|
The National Center for Health Statistics is integrating three hospital surveys into one survey named the National Hospital Care Survey. The new survey will measure the provision and utilization of medical care services provided by non-Federal, non-institutional hospitals with six or more inpatient beds and by freestanding ambulatory surgery centers in the United States. Similar to the prior surveys, data will be collected in national samples of hospital discharges, ambulatory surgeries, and visits to hospital emergency and outpatient departments. Relative to the prior surveys, the new survey covers an expanded hospital population and targets additional estimates. This paper discusses the sampling design for the new survey and selected differences between the old and new survey designs.
