SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
aimed at increasing the quality and use
of health care data.
• Conduct and translate research to
inform decision making and improve
health care delivery.
This project is being conducted by
AHRQ through its primary contractor
and subcontractor, IBM Watson Health
and Pantheon Software, pursuant to
AHRQ’s statutory authority to conduct
and support research on healthcare and
on systems for the delivery of such care,
including activities with respect to the
outcomes, cost, cost-effectiveness, and
use of health care services and access to
such services. 42 U.S.C. 299a(a)(3).
Proposed Project
Method of Collection
The project currently creates eight
types of restricted access public release
databases and related files that are
released to authorized users under the
terms of the HCUP Data Use Agreement
(DUA). These HCUP databases and files
are used by researchers for a broad range
of health issues, including cost and
quality of health services, medical
practice patterns, access to health care
programs, and outcomes of treatments at
the national, State, and local market
levels.
HCUP achieves the restricted access
public release and tracking of the HCUP
databases through the Online
Application Form for HCUP Products
(https://www.distributor.hcupus.ahrq.gov/SpecialPages/Shoppingcart.
aspx). To access the eight types of
database, HCUP users are required to
complete the Online Application Form
for HCUP Products which includes
three components, the application,
HCUP DUA training (https://www.hcupus.ahrq.gov/DUA/dua/) and
signing a HCUP DUA. Users are
required to sign one of two DUAs: (1)
Nationwide or (2) state (hereafter
referred to collectively as the HCUP
DUA) after they complete the HCUP
DUA training.
Information collected in the HCUP
Online Application Form process will
be used for two purposes only:
1. Business Transaction: In order to
deliver the HCUP databases to the
applicants, contact information is
necessary for shipping the data on disk
(or any other media used in the future)
and payment collection.
2. Enforcement of the HCUP Data Use
Agreement (DUA): The HCUP DUA
contains several restrictions on use of
the data. Most of these restrictions have
been put in place to safeguard the
privacy of individuals and
establishments represented in the data.
For example, data users can only use the
data for research, analysis, and aggregate
statistical reporting and are prohibited
Online Application Order Form for
Products From the Healthcare Cost and
Utilization Project (HCUP)
The Healthcare Cost and Utilization
Project (HCUP, pronounced ‘‘H-Cup’’) is
a vital resource helping the Agency
achieve its research agenda, thereby
furthering its goal of improving the
delivery of health care in the United
States. HCUP is a family of health care
databases and related software tools and
products developed through a FederalState-Industry partnership and
sponsored by AHRQ. HCUP includes
the largest collection of longitudinal
hospital care data in the United States,
with all-payer, encounter-level
information beginning in 1988. The
HCUP databases are annual files that
contain anonymous information from
hospital discharge records for inpatient
care and certain components of
outpatient care, such as emergency care
and ambulatory surgeries. The project
currently releases eight types of
databases created for research use on a
broad range of health issues, including
cost and quality of health services,
medical practice patterns, access to
health care programs, and outcomes of
treatments at the national, State, and
local market levels. HCUP also produces
a large number of software tools to
enhance the use of administrative health
care data for research and public health
use. Software tools use information
available from a variety of sources to
create new data elements, often through
sophisticated algorithms, for use with
the HCUP databases.
HCUP’s objectives are to:
• Create and enhance a powerful
source of national, state, and all-payer
health care data.
• Produce a broad set of software
tools and products to facilitate the use
of HCUP and other administrative data.
• Enrich a collaborative partnership
with statewide data organizations (that
voluntarily participate in the project)

that a violation of the HCUP DUA takes
place requiring legal remedy.
Estimated Annual Respondent Burden
Exhibit 1 shows the estimated
annualized burden associated with the
applicants’ time to order any of the
HCUP databases. An estimated 1,800
persons will order HCUP data annually.
Each of these persons will complete

HCUP products (30 minutes). The total
burden for the Online Application
Order Form is estimated to be 900 hours
annually. Exhibit 2 shows the estimated
annualized cost burden associated with
the applicants’ time to order HCUP data.
The total cost burden is estimated to be
$39,879 annually.
