1. Summary#

Data are collected about all inpatient admissions to hospitals in England. The dataset includes information on the treatment and outcome of the hospital admission. Data collected include demographics, date and source of admission, waiting time, reason for admission, clinical diagnosis and procedures performed, and date and destination of discharge. HESAPC encompasses the Maternity dataset (HESAPC_MAT), the Critical Care minimum dataset (HESCC) and the retired Augmented Care Periods dataset (HESAPC_ACP).
