Abstract: The current NHDS is scheduled to expire with the 2010 data collection. Clearance is now being sought to field a new NHDS, scheduled to begin in 2011 with the recruitment of approximately 500 hospitals and collecting data on hospital inpatients for all discharges from those hospitals in 2011 continuing through 2013. Hospitals recruited from the NHDS will provide data on hospital inpatients from their Uniform Bill (UB)-04 administrative databases. This is a departure from the current NHDS by moving to an electronic system for collection of core data while providing a flexible platform that allows for primary data collection from the medical record for strategic samples of cases. In addition, facility level data will be collected through a facility questionnaire.
