HCUPtools: Access and Work with HCUP Resources and Datasets
A comprehensive R package for accessing and working with publicly
available and free resources from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality
(AHRQ) Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP). The package provides
streamlined access to HCUP's Clinical Classifications Software Refined (CCSR)
mapping files and Summary Trend Tables, enabling researchers and analysts to
efficiently map ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes and ICD-10-PCS procedure codes to
CCSR categories and access HCUP statistical reports. Key features include:
direct download from HCUP website, multiple output formats (long/wide/default),
cross-classification support, version management, citation generation, and
intelligent caching. The package does not redistribute HCUP data files but
facilitates direct download from the official HCUP website, ensuring users
always have access to the latest versions and maintain compliance with HCUP
data use policies. This package only accesses free public tools and reports;
it does NOT access HCUP databases (NIS, KID, SID, NEDS, etc.) that require
purchase. For more information, see <https://hcup-us.ahrq.gov/>.
