- Summary:
- The 1986 National Hospital Discharge Survey is the latest in a continuing sample of hospital discharge records, collecting medical and demographic information for calculating statistics on hospital utilization. This survey consists of data abstracted from the face sheets of the medical records for sampled inpatients discharged from a national sample of nonfederal short-stay hospitals. The variables include information on the patient's demographic characteristics (sex, age, date of birth, race, marital status), dates of admission and discharge, status at discharge, diagnoses, procedures performed, source of payment, and hospital characteristics of bedsize, ownership, and region of the country.
