NEWS
- WE HAVE THE NASS!
This month, SHARP received a download of the 2016 NASS dataset. Sampled from the State Ambulatory Surgery and Services Databases (SASD), HCUP’s NASS can be used to create national estimates of major ambulatory surgery encounters performed in hospital-owned facilities. Major ambulatory surgeries are defined as selected invasive, therapeutic surgical procedures that typically require the use of an operating room and require regional anesthesia, general anesthesia, or sedation (i.e., surgeries flagged as “narrow” in the HCUP Surgery Flag Software).
Key features of the 2016 NASS include:
• Data from 2,718 hospital-owned facilities located in 33 States and the District of Columbia, approximating a 59-percent stratified sample of U.S. hospital-owned facilities performing selected ambulatory surgeries
• Data on clinical procedures and diagnoses, disposition of the patient, expected source of payment, and total charges, as well as geographic, hospital-owned facility, and patient characteristics
• A focus on encounters with at least one “in-scope” ambulatory surgery: an invasive, therapeutic procedure with relatively high procedure volume, a substantial share of procedures in the hospital outpatient setting, and reliable reporting from hospital-owned facilities
• A supplemental file that provides information on out-of-scope procedures performed during these encounters
- Dr. Carmen Quatman, MD, PhD will be speaking at the TEDxColumbus Women’s event on December 8th
- TEDxColumbus aims to bring the Columbus community a series of talks featuring the area’s most intelligent, clever, and creative individuals. This year, the theme is Bold + Brilliant, and the aim of the event is to empower girls and women and celebrate those who support them.
- The event will take place from 1:00pm to 4:00pm on 12/08, and livestream will take place from 4:30pm to 6:00pm.

We are pleased to announce the release of the National Study of Caregiving (NSOC) Time Diary final data files. In NSOC III, a 24-hour time diary was administered by telephone to caregivers who provided assistance to an older adult in the last month. This data release contains the time diary file as well as a summary file that includes time diary eligibility variables and summary information about the diary day.
These data are available under our sensitive data procedures; the application can be accessed at https://www.nhatsdata.org/Home/ResDataFiles. Documentation, including a time diary user guide, can be found at https://www.nhats.org.
