- Tuesday, September 19 from 9:00 AM-4:00 PM ET
Location: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Pavilion, Rockville, MD
Sponsored by AHRQ, the workshop is a one-day course for health services researchers on the use of HCUP databases and software tools. This year, there will be a specific focus on using the
State Ambulatory Surgery and Services Databases (SASD) and how they differ from the
State Inpatient Databases (SID) and
State Emergency Department Databases (SEDD). Faculty will present instruction on working with the HCUP databases to conduct cross sectional analyses, with a specific hands-on comparison of the HCUP SASD and SID databases and how to use HCUP-US documentation to their advantage when developing analyses. Participants will use their own computers loaded with text editing software and will walk through SAS programs on the databases. It is highly recommended that attendees review the
HCUP Online Overview Course prior to the workshop.
