PHC4 collects approximately 5.2 million inpatient and ambulatory/outpatient records combined each year from hospitals and freestanding ambulatory surgery centers in Pennsylvania. This data, which includes facility charges and treatment information, is collected on a quarterly basis. Each piece of data is subjected to standard validation processes and verified for accuracy by the hospital or facility that reports it.
We share this data with the public not only through public reports and interactive databases on our website, but through special data request purchases as well.
For a fee, businesses, organizations, or individuals can request standard “ready-to-use” data from PHC4 or custom data that is generated based on the specific needs of the populations you’re working with. We can also link our data to other data sources, such as the Pennsylvania vital statistics data from the Pennsylvania Department of Health, to provide even greater value to you.

Fourth quarter 2021 inpatient and ambulatory/outpatient administrative and revenue data is available for purchase. First quarter 2022 data is scheduled to be released October 2022.
Financial Data
