Hospital Discharge Data
Hospitalization or hospital discharge, refers to any discharge from a non-federal, short-stay, acute-care
hospital in Delaware. Hospitalizations are expressed as numbers of discharges, not as unduplicated patients;
as a result, a single patient with multiple hospitalizations can be counted more than once. Delaware hospital
discharge data are based upon inpatient hospitalizations and do not include outpatient, clinic, or emergency
room data. Unless otherwise specified, the data presented represents discharges from the following
hospitals and systems: A. I. duPont, St. Francis, Christiana Care Health System (consists of Wilmington
and Christiana Care), Bayhealth Medical Center (consists of Kent General and Milford), Beebe Medical Center
and Nanticoke Memorial Hospital.
