2/25/20: New US profile: National Hospital Care Survey (NHCS)
The National Hospital Care Survey (NHCS) replaced the National Hospital Discharge Survey (NHDS) in 2011. It provides information to assess the health of the population through the creation of a dataset that contains information on health care utilization as well as demographic characteristics, medical conditions, and treatment of patients who use hospitals for inpatient and ambulatory medical care in the United States.
