Discharge Data
A. Purpose -A statewide
Hospital Discharge Data System (HDDS) is one of the most important tools for
addressing a broad range of health policy issues, including the improvement of
the quality and efficiency of medical care. "Discharge data" is defined as the
consolidation of complete billing, medical, and personal information describing
a patient or resident, the services received, and charges billed for a single
hospital stay.
The requirements for the collection and submission of data as described shall also apply to those non-federal acute care hospitals located in Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Tennessee. Data submitted by these non- Mississippi hospitals shall relate exclusively to those patients who are Mississippi residents.
B.
Reporting Required-Each reporting facility shall report discharge data using
methods outlined in the policies and procedures established by the Healthcare
Data Registry System.
C. Data
Elements -The Mississippi HDDS is based on the Health Care Finance
Administration (HCFA) UB-04 or the most recent version and additional selected
information routinely collected by health care facilities on each patient. Data
elements are listed in the HDDS policy manual.
D. Quality Assurance-MSDH Data Use Council
will develop guidelines for quality assurance and accuracy that each reporting
hospital will be required to follow.
E. Time of Reporting and Methodology-
Reporting facilities shall submit data for each calendar month based upon
discharges occurring during such month. Collected data shall be submitted to
the HDDS no later than 75 days after the end of the calendar quarter.
