R Documentation

Get CHARS (Comprehensive Hospital Abstract Reporting System) microdata from storage.

Description

Get CHARS (Comprehensive Hospital Abstract Reporting System) microdata from storage.

Usage

get_data_chars(
  cols = NA,
  year = NA,
  kingco = T,
  version = "final",
  wastate = T,
  inpatient = T,
  deaths = T,
  topcode = T,
  mykey = "hhsaw"
)

Arguments

`cols`	Character vector of length >=1. Identifies which columns should be returned. NA returns all columns in the analytic dataset. See `list_dataset_columns` for more information on which columns are considered default by dataset. Default = NA
`year`	Numeric vector. Identifies which years of data should be pulled. Defaults to the most recent year. Default = most recent year only
`kingco`	logical OR 'zip'. When `kingco = T`, returns dataset where the patient county is King County – based on country code. When `kingco = 'zip'`, returns a dataset where the patient county is King County – based on zip code. Default = T
`version`	Character vector of length 1. Either 'final' or 'stage'. Default = 'final'
`wastate`	logical. Return dataset for Washington State CHARS data only. When FALSE includes Oregon. Default = T
`inpatient`	logical. Return dataset for inpatients only. When FALSE includes observation patients. Default = T
`deaths`	logical. Return dataset with or without patients who died in the hospital. When TRUE the dataset includes those who died. Default = T
`topcode`	logical. Do you want to top code chi_age at 100 to match population data? Default = T
`mykey`	Character vector of length 1. Identifies the keyring:: 'service' name that can be used to access the Health & Human Services Analytic Workspace (HHSAW). Default == 'hhsaw'

Value

a single data.table

          wastate = TRUE,
          version = 'final',
          inpatient = TRUE,
          deaths = FALSE,
          topcode = FALSE,
