Hospitalization Statistics
Hospitalization refers to any discharge from a non-federal, short-stay, acute-care, general hospital in Connecticut. Hospitalizations are expressed as numbers of discharges, not as unduplicated patients; a single patient with multiple hospitalizations can thus be counted more than once. Hospital discharges are recorded in the state’s hospital discharge abstract and billing database, which is maintained by the Connecticut Office of Health Strategy.
