American Hospital Directory: Summary Hospital Data Maps


The American Hospital Directory (AHD) now supplements their public hospital data with Google-powered maps. I (and many of our health care researchers) have used AHD for hospital data, but the ability to access and view the hospital data through maps is fantastic and so very useful.

Check out their map of the 596 Texas hospitals in their database.

Hospitals are broken up into 8 categories:
  1. Short term acute care
  2. Critical access
  3. Psychiatric
  4. Long term
  5. Rehabilitation
  6. Children's
  7. Other
  8. Unknown
Great data is provided for each hospital, including revenue, number of beds, discharges, type of service, inpatient origin, financial statistics, and more. There are a number of subscription services available on their site, but this free data is great.

Here is the press release announcing their new mapping service.

AHD is indeed a great resource. I also enjoy http://healthgrade.com, http://citehealth.com, and http://ucomparehealthcare.com for hospital and other health care provider reports.
