Where can I get information about a particular skilled nursing facility, hospital or other health care provider?
NCHS is legally bound to protect the identity of the people who provide us with data by Title 42, United States Code, Section 242m(d). This protects the confidentiality of U.S. health care providers and of their patients. Information collected in the surveys is used only for statistical purposes. No information that could identify a person or establishment can be disclosed. The staff who collect the data for NCHS, sign an affidavit making them subject to the Privacy Act, the Public Health Service Act, and other laws that require the data be protected.
