Statutory authority: 41 U.S.C. 1901 Intended Source: HEALTH FORUM, INC. (American Hospital Association) Justification: Market research found that the American Hospital Association is the only source offering the required comprehensive hospital data/Information covering the integration of information technologies across approximately 3,500 hospitals nationwide, while other sources focused on narrower settings or topics, which did not meet all of the NIMHD research needs. Importantly, NIMHD already uses previous data files from the American Hospital Association Annual Survey Database (2008–2020) and IT Supplement (2007–2023) data, making it essential to obtain the newer 2021–2024 Annual Survey data and the 2024 IT Supplement from the same exact source in order to maintain consistency and comparability in their research. A switch to an alternative source would have impacts on data uniformity, disturb ongoing research, and prevent the institute from extending the existing data use license.
