Texas Outpatient Research Data File (OP RDF)

The Outpatient Research Data File (OP RDF) includes outpatient surgical and radiological data. This data is collected from hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers in Texas. Beginning with the fourth quarter of 2020, it also includes Freestanding Emergency Medical Center ED data.

The OP RDF includes outpatient data not included in the PUDF. It's ideal for researchers, universities, or government agencies studying specific concerns.
