The dataset contains percentages of languages spoken for patient encounters in an inpatient setting, the emergency room, and hospital-based ambulatory surgery centers as well as languages spoken by the hospital-based workforce. There are also patient encounter-to-provider license ratios for each language by county.

Smaller ratios indicate fewer patient encounters per provider license and less demand. Larger ratios of patient encounters per provider license indicate greater need for services in that language.
