Who is the Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality (AHRQ)?
• AHRQ is an agency within DHHS.• AHRQ’s mission is “to improve the quality,
safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of health care for all Americans.”
• AHRQ has funded the creation of tools and resources that will help meet the needs of health care researchers/analysts and decision-makers.

AHRQ• AHRQ – Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality • Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP, pronounced “H-Cup”) - is a
family of health care databases and related software tools and products developed through a Federal-State-Industry partnership, which brings together data collection efforts to create a national information resource patient-level health care data. http://www.hcup-us.ahrq.gov/overview.jsp
• Databases - Largest collection of longitudinal hospital care data in the U.S.• AHRQ Quality Indicators (QIs) – measures of health care quality, which
consist of 3 modules, that make use of readily available hospital inpatient administrative data.
• Clinical Classification Software (CCS) – developed with HCUP data, CCS is a grouping software that provides a method for classifying ICD-9-CM diagnoses or procedures into clinically meaningful categories. Great for aggregate statistical reporting. http://www.hcup-us.ahrq.gov/toolssoftware/ccs/ccs.jsp
• Note: now also includes categories from the Clinical Classifications Software for Mental Health and Substance Abuse (CCS –MHSA)

AHRQ
• Databases • Largest collection of longitudinal hospital care data in the
U.S.• Can be utilized for research on a broad range of health
policy issues: 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. http://www.hcup-us.ahrq.gov/databases.jsp
• Databases Include:• The National Inpatient Sample (starting in 1988)• The Kid’s Inpatient Database (starting in 1997)• The Nationwide Emergency Department Sample (starting in

Clinical Classification Software
• How does CCS work?• CCS consists of two related classification
systems – single & multi-level.• Single-level (of 231 mutually exclusive categories) is
most useful for ranking diagnosis/procedures and for direct integration into risk adjustment and other software while multi-level CCS is most useful when evaluating larger aggregations of conditions/procedures or exploring them in greater detail.

Clinical Classification Software
• How/For what can CCS be used?• CCS can be used as “crutch” for analysts who don’t know as
much about coding as they would like.• Serves as a way to crosswalk ICD-9 and CPT Procedure codes
especially useful for those procedures which can be done inpatient and outpatient.
• Managed care plans can use CCS to rank hospitalizations by type of condition (i.e.) specifically examine numbers of cases, length of stay, and total costs to better understand which conditions/procedures were associated with the highest resource use.
• Researchers can use CCS to explore conditions/procedures that are most frequent in their study populations or to compare alternative treatments for similar conditions or to develop risk adjustment models/as a way to predict future health resource utilization.
