Summary: AHRQ will sponsor a full-day hands-on workshop for health services researchers interested in using HCUP data resources. Participants will be exposed to HCUP databases and related tools (including HCUPnet) via hands-on manipulation of the data, including file construction, producing national estimates, creating State-level output, and applying critical methods to produce correct standard deviations. Access to the HCUP Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) and State Inpatient Databases (SID) will be provided during the workshop.
