New HCUP Tool for Analysis of Hospital Discharge Data
AHRQ has unveiled HCUP Fast Stats, a new online product from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project that provides easy access to the latest HCUP statistics from 41 States on numbers of hospital discharges by payer group (Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, uninsured) for categories of conditions (surgical, mental health, injury, medical). Fast Stats enables State-by-State comparisons and can be used to analyze the effects of Medicaid expansion on hospital utilization levels and payment sources. For example, Fast Stats shows that in Colorado, a Medicaid expansion state, there was a 50 percent increase in Medicaid-covered hospital stays during the first 9 months of 2014. During the same time period, hospital stays for the uninsured declined 90 percent. In contrast, Missouri, which did not expand Medicaid under the ACA, experienced no significant changes in hospital stays for Medicaid or uninsured patients. (See Fast Stats graphs below).

Information in Fast Stats is presented in easy-to-read graphics, accompanied by underlying tables with numbers and data export options for analysts. Statistics will be updated quarterly or annually, as the most recent data become available. 2014 data are fully or partially available for 17 States. New topics to inform about healthcare delivery in U.S. hospitals will be added in the future.
