    • Synthetic Healthcare Database for Research (SyH-DR)

    Metadata Updated: September 16, 2023

    The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) created SyH-DR from eligibility and claims files for Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurance plans in calendar year 2016. SyH-DR contains data from a nationally representative sample of insured individuals for the 2016 calendar year. SyH-DR uses synthetic data elements at the claim level to resemble the marginal distribution of the original data elements. SyH-DR person-level data elements are not synthetic, but identifying information is aggregated or masked.
