Inpatient cases can be categorized
according to the types of services received (e.g., medical
or surgical) and the body systems involved (e.g., heart,
lung, brain, etc.). The resulting categorization includes
34 service types, commonly called service lines.1
Five service categories account for more than half of
all hospitalizations: neonatology (newborns), obstetrics
(maternity), cardiology, general surgery, and pulmonary.2
Since 1995, cardiology, pulmonary, and general surgery
hospitalizations increased more significantly (ranging between 8 to 19 percent) than obstetrics/delivery and neonatology (ranging between 1 to 2 percent). These discharge trends are
expected to continue as Hawai'i's population ages.
