Summary:

HealthSTAR contains unique records from three sources: (1) records emphasizing health care administration selected and indexed by the American Hospital Association (AHA); (2) records emphasizing health planning from the National Health Planning Information Center (only in the backfile); and (3) records emphasizing health services research, clinical practice guidelines, and health care technology assessment selected and indexed through NLM's National Center on Health Services Research and Health Care Technology (NICHSR). The file is produced by the AHA in cooperation with NLM. The Hospital and Health Administration Index, published by the AHA, is produced from this file. Alternate source information is provided for technical reports and related material selected by NICHSR that may not be held widely by libraries. Contains citations to the published literature on health services, technology, administration, and research. It focuses on both the clinical and non-clinical aspects of health care delivery. The following topics are included: evaluation of patient outcomes; effectiveness of procedures, programs, products, services and processes; administration and planning of health facilities, services and manpower; health insurance; health policy; health services research; health economics and financial management; laws and regulation; personnel administration; quality assurance; licensure; and accreditation.
