Analytical Methods and Reports

The Center for Health Statistics (CHS) collects and analyzes vital records and hospitalization data. Within CHS, The Linkage and Integrated Data Analysis unit and the Data Science and Engineering unit routinely perform linkage and analyses on a variety of topics that interact with these data.

We publish findings, methodological advancements and analyses via DOH reports, posters, videos, and peer-reviewed studies. Several areas of interest have been established with the intent of disseminating information to interested audiences.

Data Linkage Methodology

The Linkage and Integrated Data Analysis unit (LIDA) specializes in large scale machine learning data linkages. The unit emphasizes equitable representation and maximal accuracy in linkage practices.

Data Science, Statistics, and Analyses

CHS performs independent and collaborative analyses that involve vital record and hospitalization data. Reports produced by data scientists span multiple research topics.
