ResOcc
The hospitalization data in the NJSHAD system only include
discharges of New Jersey residents from New Jersey hospitals.
EDVisit
The Emergency Department Database contains information on ED visits that do not
result in admission to the same hospital (i.e., "treated and released," which
includes patients who were discharged home, transferred to another health care facility,
left against medical advice, left without being seen, transferred to another hospital, or died).
ICD
The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is a
coding system maintained by the World Health Organization and the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics. It is used to classify
causes of death on death certificates and diagnoses, injury causes,
and medical procedures for hospital and emergency department visits.
These codes are updated every decade or so to account for advances
in medical technology. The U.S. is currently using the 10th revision
(ICD-10), however the 9th revision (ICD-9) was used for hospital
and emergency department visits through September 30, 2015.
New Jersey's October 1 - December 31, 2015 records have been back-coded
to ICD-9.
UBData
The Uniform Billing (UB) database contains billing information and charges for services received, diagnosis and procedure codes following the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), and patient demographic information. The data are primarily designed for billing purposes and are reported for each episode of care.
The Office of Health Care Quality Assessment (HCQA) receives patient level hospital discharge data on a monthly basis through its data intermediary and provides the file "as is." The data are not audited and researchers should exercise caution when interpreting findings from analyses of these data.
Due to a change in population estimation methodology at the U.S. Census Bureau, rates for 2020 and later are not directly comparable to rates from before 2020. After 2010-2020 intercensal estimates are released by the Census Bureau in late 2024, all rates will be recalculated to enable trend analysis.
RE2008
Reporting of race and ethnicity was problematic in 2008,
therefore all records are shown with Unknown race and ethnicity for 2008 data.
About this dataset
The Emergency Department (ED) Discharge dataset is very large. Queries may take several minutes to run, especially if multiple years are selected.
How to build your query
The most current data year and all hospital discharges are pre-selected in the steps below.
If you do not want to choose different years or filter your results by any demographic or other characteristics, skip to the last STEP bar and select how you would like to display the results
then click SUBMIT at the bottom left of the query builder steps to get your query result.
If you want to only see data for certain years, demographic characteristics, payers, etc., follow the numbered steps below to narrow your query. When you are done filtering
your query, open the last STEP bar to select which rows and columns you want in your data table.
After that, click SUBMIT at the bottom left of the query builder steps to get your
query result.

Selecting years
Use Ctrl to make multiple selections or drag the mouse to select consecutive years.
The year groupings you select here will be used to display your results if
you choose Year in the last step below. For example, if
you choose "Single years" here and choose Year in the last step,
your query results will be displayed for single years,
for the range of years you selected. If you select "3-year groups,"
your query results will be aggregated within those year groups.

ICDDiagP
User-defined ICD-9 diagnosis codes - primary diagnosis
Primary Diagnosis
Each hospitalization record may contain up to 13 diagnoses.
Primary diagnosis refers to the first-listed (main) diagnosis.
How to Specify ICD-9 Codes
Enter the codes, use a hyphen to indicate a range of codes, use a space or comma between codes.
For ICD-9 codes: 480 includes all codes under 480 (viral pneumonia),
from 480.0 (Pneumonia due to adenovirus) to 480.9 (Viral pneumonia,
unspecified). Deaths coded simply 480 will not be included in a range
from 480.0-480.9. 480-481 would include all codes under 480 and 481.
Injury codes included are Nature of Injury codes (800-999), not Cause of Injury E-codes (E800-E999).
