Center for Health Statistics
The Portal for Comprehensive Health Data in Texas
NEW! The Center for Health Statistics (CHS) has released the new Texas Health Data
web-based query system. This interactive site allows users to query DSHS public health datasets to obtain statistical reports and summaries.
Texas Health Data (THD) is currently available with a limited number of updated datasets, including population, birth, hospital quality indicators, and the Health Facts Profiles. Additional datasets will be added over the coming months. THD will ultimately consolidate many of the current CHS query systems including the
legacy Texas Health Data ,
Indicators of Inpatient Care, and the Behavioral Risk Factor and
Youth Risk Behavior query systems. While current data are being added to THD exclusively, existing systems and the historical data they contain will remain available to users until the data have been moved to the new query system.
CHS is actively seeking feedback about the new Texas Health Data site and would like users to send comments, suggestions, and/or questions
via email.

HSI Announcement
*Patient age distributions for abortion data collected in 2013 and 2014 have been updated. Age was inconsistently calculated as compared to all prior years for those two years only. These changes do not impact the total number of abortions for each year. We are reviewing the way age was historically calculated to determine the most accurate calculation method to use.
