Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has embarked on a surveillance project to monitor the impact of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act on hospital admissions and emergency department utilization.
The foundation is collaborating with 24 state hospital associations for the project. The RWJF Hospital ACA Monitoring Project, or HAMP, collects data each quarter on all inpatient admissions and emergency department visits by payer. Approximately 1,700 hospitals are included in the data set.
