abstract: 'A comprehensive R package for accessing and working with publicly available
  and free resources from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Healthcare
  Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP). The package provides streamlined access to
  HCUP''s Clinical Classifications Software Refined (CCSR) mapping files and Summary
  Trend Tables, enabling researchers and analysts to efficiently map ICD-10-CM diagnosis
  codes and ICD-10-PCS procedure codes to CCSR categories and access HCUP statistical
  reports. Key features include: direct download from HCUP website, multiple output
  formats (long/wide/default), cross-classification support, version management, citation
  generation, and intelligent caching. The package does not redistribute HCUP data
  files but facilitates direct download from the official HCUP website, ensuring users
  always have access to the latest versions and maintain compliance with HCUP data
  use policies. This package only accesses free public tools and reports; it does
  NOT access HCUP databases (NIS, KID, SID, NEDS, etc.) that require purchase. For
  more information, see <https://hcup-us.ahrq.gov/>.'
