Emergency Department Encounters

All Utah licensed hospitals are required to report information on Emergency Department (ED) patient encounters. Hospitals supply these data to the Office of Health Care Statistics, on behalf of the Bureau of Emergency Medical Services, for the purpose of constructing a statewide Emergency Department Encounter Database. The database contains the consolidated information on medical codes, patient characteristics, services received, and charges billed for each ED encounter. The ED Public Data Set includes the combined data on all ED outpatient visits and ED inpatient admissions.

Utah’s APCD contains data from health insurance carriers, Medicaid*, and third party administrators in Utah. These data consist of medical, pharmacy, and dental claims as well as insurance enrollment and health care provider data. During processing these files are cleaned, standardized, and enhanced with analytics software that produces data on risk and burden of illness.
