Want to purchase data to do your own analysis?
The statistics in HCUPnet would not be possible without statewide data collection projects that provide data to HCUP.
HCUPnet is based on aggregate statistics tables to speed up data transfer and protect individual records, so not all possible queries can be addressed. If a query is not possible, HCUPnet will not allow you to choose certain parameters. If there is a query you'd like to see that HCUPnet does not support, please write us at hcup@ahrq.hhs.gov.
