Ohio
Vital Statistics Report Ohio’s Data Warehouse allows you to query the database for information. You can get data from two sources: (1) vital statistics (i.e. birth certificate) or (2) hospital discharge data. The birth certificate data (e.g. method of delivery) can be broken down by county, but not by hospital. The hospital discharge data does let you get hospital level data on topics like cesareans, but only in absolute numbers – you’ll have to work out rates. Neither system is particularly simple, but they do provide menus that you can work through to identify the data you want to see.

Ohio
Vital Statistics Report | Ohio’s Data Warehouse allows you to query the database for information. You can get data from two sources: (1) vital statistics (i.e. birth certificate) or (2) hospital discharge data. The birth certificate data (e.g. method of delivery) can be broken down by county, but not by hospital. The hospital discharge data does let you get hospital level data on topics like cesareans, but only in absolute numbers – you’ll have to work out rates. Neither system is particularly simple, but they do provide menus that you can work through to identify the data you want to see. |

Hello,
I hope you are having a good day! My name is Brandon Kregel and I work at a medical device tech company called Capnia in Redwood City, CA. We are trying to aggregate the total number of annual births per hospital in CA. Do have a list of total annual births per hospital in California? I’ve been trying to call each hospital individually, but most do not answer the phone. Please let me know if you can help, or if you have any other suggestions as how we can go about getting this data.
Thank you!
Brandon
