The Office of Statewide Health Planning & Development (OSHPD) released 2017 ambulatory surgery data by facility for the state of California. This data set contains summary data of patients treated in each hospital-based and freestanding ambulatory surgery clinic. The summary data includes discharge disposition, expected payer, preferred language spoken, age groups, race groups, sex, principal diagnosis groups, principal procedure groups, and principal external cause of injury/morbidity groups. The data can also be summarized statewide or for a specific facility county, type of control, and/or type of license (hospital or clinic). Physician-owned ambulatory surgery clinics do not report their data to OSHPD and, therefore, are not included in the statewide frequencies.
