Short course on Analysing patient data: using hospital episode statistics



Centre for Health Economics, University of York

2nd - 3rd November 2010



Overview

The Hospital Episode Statistics contain details of all admissions to NHS

hospitals and all NHS outpatient appointments in England. HES is the data

source for a wide range of healthcare analysis for the NHS, government and

research community. This intensive workshop introduces participants to HES

data and how to handle and manipulate these very large data sets using

computer software. Participants will engage in problem-solving exercises,

analysing the information in highly interactive sessions.



Participants

This workshop is only offered to people from the public sector or academia

and is suitable for analysts working in NHS hospitals, commissioning

organisations and the Department of Health, and for health care researchers

and PhD students.
