Florida Center for Health Information and Policy Analysis (Florida Center)

The Florida Center for Health Information and Policy Analysis (Florida Center) is one of AHCA's sources for health care data and consumer information. With a staff of researchers, analysts and writers, our work includes the collection and dissemination of patient data, along with technical assistance to interested parties.  The main databases include hospital inpatient, emergency department, and ambulatory outpatient. In addition, short term psychiatric, comprehensive rehabilitation, and long term psychiatric hospital databases are also maintained.

The Florida Center uses the data to create detailed reports that examine health care trends and outcomes of specific diagnoses in the Health Outcome Series. In addition, the Florida Center produces a variety of publications in the Consumer Awareness Series to assist the public in making informed health care decisions.

For a closer look at the Florida Center, including reports, publications, facility listings and more, please visit www.FloridaHealthFinder.gov. From this site you can also access the inpatient and outpatient databases by clicking on the Researchers and Professionals Tab.
