Understand Changing Patient Needs and Identify Growth Opportunities
Is your hospital ready to meet the health needs of the communities it serves? Are you investing in the right capital improvements? Are you hiring enough of the right kinds of health care workers? IHA can help you find the answers.
We collect inpatient and outpatient data from every Indiana hospital on a quarterly basis and compile it in a single, easy-to-access database. As a member, you can use this information to identify utilization trends and changes in local market share that will help you with service and facility planning, marketing and staffing.
Comply with State-Mandated Reporting Requirements
IHA serves as the subcontractor to the 
Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) to collect Indiana hospitals' data required by the Hospital Financial Disclosure Law in a format prescribed by the state health commissioner.
Information Decision Support
IHA works closely with members to understand what types of statewide data they need to develop their strategic goals and marketing plans.
Inpatient & Outpatient Data
As a service to its members, IHA maintains a statewide database of all inpatient, emergency service and outpatient encounters at Indiana hospitals. All hospitals are required to submit data on a quarterly basis. We share this information with members to help them understand utilization and market share trends and to make projections of future utilization.
