Disclosure: All Health data are reviewed by the Office of Research and Statistics (ORS) for
accuracy and completeness as mandated by law. However, there are certain
discrepancies that can go undetected, such as the actual number of discharges.
Hospitals are given the opportunity to verify these data prior to being made
public by the ORS. If a discrepancy is discovered after the release of these
reports, the ORS will make every effort to correct the information presented.
