Primary Care and Specialty Clinics Annual Utilization Data (California) (2001+)

The clinic annual utilization data includes 2 types of clinics: primary care clinics and specialty clinics. Primary care clinics, which include community and free clinics, offer a full range of primary care services to the uninsured and underinsured in their communities. Specialty clinics include freestanding surgical, chronic dialysis, and rehabilitation clinics as well as alternative birth centers. The complete database of annual utilization data reported by primary care clinics contains basic clinic identification information including community services, clinic staffing data, and patient and staff language data; financial information including gross revenue, itemized write-offs by program, an income statement, and selected capital project items; and information on encounters by service, principal diagnosis, and procedure codes (CPT codes). The complete database of annual utilization data reported by specialty clinics contains basic information including the number of surgical operating rooms, number of surgeries performed, number of patients, number of encounters by service type, and major capital expenditures.
