What Is HCUP?

The Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP, pronounced “H-cup”) is a family of health care databases and related software tools and products developed through a Federal State industry partnership and sponsored by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. HCUP is based on statewide data collected by individual data organizations across the United States and provided to AHRQ through the HCUP partnership. HCUP would not be possible without statewide data collection projects. HCUP includes the largest collection of longitudinal hospital care data in the United States, encompassing all-payer, discharge-level information.
