Description
The dataset contains combined counts for hospital discharges, emergency room encounters, and ambulatory surgeries by preferred language spoken at each facility. The nearly 100 languages collected in the patient-level data were combined into eight geographical or cultural groups: English Language, Spanish Language, Asian/Pacific Islander Languages, Middle Eastern Languages, European Languages, African Languages, Latin American Languages, Native American Languages, and Sign Language. See the Preferred Language Spoken Language List below to see the exact separation of languages.
