Fatal and nonfatal injury hospitalizations are included on this dashboard. Data include all Virginia-licensed hospitals. Data from federal or military hospitals, like Veterans Affairs Medical Centers, are not included.<\/p>\n

Data are of Virginia residents hospitalized in Virginia. Data by Virginia health district is where the person lived at the time of hospitalization. It is not based on the health district where the person was hospitalized.<\/p>\n

Counts are the number of hospitalizations. This means that a patient could have stayed in the hospital more than once for the same injury. These would count as two separate hospitalizations.<\/p>\n

Rates are the number of hospitalizations per 100,000 population. Population estimates to calculate rates come from the National Center for Health Statistics.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
