County-Level Health Care Reports
What's In This Report
Information on specific health conditions and the utilization of healthcare services within each county are provided in the files below. Whether you are a healthcare professional, policymaker, researcher, or a concerned citizen, these reports supply essential data to support evidence-based decision-making and analysis within our local healthcare systems. We invite you to explore these reports to better understand key healthcare statistics in your area and contribute to the improvement of our state’s healthcare infrastructure.
Information on the two types of reports is as follows:
County-Level Condition-Specific Reports: These timely reports, based on a year of data, focus on several high interest conditions. Shown are county-specific rates of hospitalization for Pennsylvania residents. These reports cover both the calendar year and the state government fiscal year (comprising the period July through the subsequent June). Analysis was limited to Pennsylvania general acute care hospitals.
County-Level Utilization Reports: These reports, updated every quarter, separately show the overall total number of inpatient hospitalizations and ambulatory/outpatient cases for Pennsylvania residents. County-specific results are displayed by patient age, sex, and payer type.
County-Level Utilization Data Visualization
Footnotes:
Inpatient data includes cases for Pennsylvania residents from acute care, long-term acute care, rehabilitation, psychiatric, and specialty hospitals. Ambulatory/outpatient data includes visits to hospital outpatient departments and freestanding ambulatory surgery centers for procedures that meet the PHC4 data collection guidelines (performed in a surgical setting, endoscopy procedures, heart catheterizations (e.g., cardiac cath, PTCA), and chemotherapy).
Data for each county includes all county residents regardless of the facility location where they were treated. The values in the interactive map represent the proportions and totals for each county based on the filters in place. Cases with incomplete values are counted in the Total Number of Cases but are not included in the detailed categories. *Not reported due to low volume.
