HCUP has developed a free, interactive course, which is available online. Once launched, the self-administered course provides an overview of HCUP data, software tools, and products. The course covers the features, capabilities and potential uses of HCUP resources. Included is information on where and how to access data, tools, and technical support. The online course is modular, so you can either move through the entire course, or access only those data resources, tools, or products in which you are interested.

To launch the course, please click on one of the links below. There are two versions. The Interactive version has audio and images throughout the course. As an alternative, you may access a text version of the course by clicking on the Overview Course Transcript version.
