CHIA collects hospital data on patient demographics, diagnoses and procedures, physicians, and charges for each inpatient discharge, outpatient observation stay, and emergency department visit in Massachusetts. Hospitals submit data in accordance with the requirements of the Data Submission Specification Manuals, which set forth the file format, record specifications, data elements, definitions, code tables, and edit specifications for each database. These manuals can be found in the blue box on the right of this page. Hospitals submit inpatient, outpatient observation, and outpatient emergency department data quarterly.
Acute hospitals submit their Case Mix data through a User interface.
Completed forms are submitted to chia.data@state.ma.us. For more information about CHIA’s interfaces, please see INET Questions & Answers.
CHIA occasionally hosts Case Mix Technical Assistance Group (“TAG”) webinars where hospitals may ask questions about data submission. On the right of this page, you can find presentations in connection with the most recent TAG webinars.
Please call (617) 701-8100 or email Kathy Hines regarding either Case Mix Hospital or Behavioral Health Facility submissions.
