Overview

About

Maintained by Jack Wasey1 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

The National Hospital Discharge Survey (2010) summarizes the state of patients at the end of their hospital admissions. The US CDC publishes the data in the public domain, and describes it as follows: The National Hospital Discharge Survey (NHDS) is a continuing nationwide sample survey of short-stay hospitals in the United States. The scope of NHDS encompasses patients discharged from noninstitutional hospitals, exclusive of military and Department of Veterans Affairs hospitals, located in the 50 States and the District of Columbia. Only hospitals having six or more beds for in-patient use are included in the survey. See https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nhds for more information.

Install

R (source archive)pak (dev)openSUSE (OBS)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/nhds/nhds_1.0.3.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "nhds_1.0.3.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (1.0.3) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("jackwasey/nhds")

Development version from jackwasey/nhds. Installs pak first if it is not already available.
