Competencies and Topics Covered
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and AMIA's Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining Work Group are pleased to provide AMIA members and non-members with an opportunity to learn about how the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) develops, provides and supports numerous software tools that can ease, enhance, and support the use of healthcare administrative data for their research interests. Sponsored by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the web seminar will provide technical, hands-on information about HCUP's numerous software tools, including: 1) Clinical Classification Software, for ICD-9-CM, ICD-10, CPT and MHSA; 2) Procedure Classes, which include major and minor diagnostics and therapeutics; 3) Comorbidity Software; 4) Chronic Condition Indicator; 5) Quality Indicators, including the Prevention QIs, the Inpatient QIs, the Patient Safety Indicators and the newest Pediatric QIs, and 6) Cost to Charge ratios.
HCUP is a family of databases, software tools, and products that enable health services research and policy analysis focusing on hospital, ambulatory surgery, and emergency department encounters. HCUP captures information on 90 percent of all hospital stays in the U.S, and is the largest collection of longitudinal, all-payer, encounter-level data available to researchers. HCUP data and tools support cutting-edge health services research and policy analyses. The possible applications are extremely diverse.
Upon completion of this web seminar, participants will:
- Gain an understanding of the varied and appropriate applications for six popular HCUP software tools.
- Achieve a technical understanding of how to apply the software tools to healthcare administrative data.
- Know where to access the software tools.
- Identify how to access further technical assistance to support use of the software tools.
