Health Data Research and Reports

We’ve compiled our hospital statistical reports here. You can find reports on many topics, including:

• Health data,
• Patient safety,
• Charges and costs,

Quality of care, and more.

Our statistical reports are also called statistical briefs. A statistical brief is a series of simple, descriptive statistics on specific, focused topics.  

We have two statistical reports you can access. The first is the inpatient annual report. The second is the 2012 outpatient procedures report.  

The inpatient annual report gives an overview of 2013 Texas hospitalizations. This report is based on Public Used Data File (PUDF) inpatient data.  

The inpatient report is for anyone who wants a better understanding of either  

1. Hospital services or  

2. The kinds of patients who used these services. 

The outpatient procedures report shows the most common procedures and their demographic data in 2012.

View the 2013 inpatient annual report, or view the 2012 outpatient procedures report.  

You can also access non-THCIC reports. This site includes a link to many different reports and articles published using Texas hospital inpatient discharge data.
