Hospital discharge data are a valuable source of information about the patterns of care, public health, and the burden of chronic disease and injury. ADHS collects hospital discharge records for inpatient (hospitalizations) and emergency department visits from all Arizona licensed hospitals. This collection is required by Arizona Revised Statute (A.R.S.) § 36-125-05, and Arizona Administrative Code Title 9, Chapter 11, Articles 4 and 5.
