Preventable Hospitalizations per 100,000
The nation spends billions annually on preventable hospitalizations.[1] This indicator provides the rates of preventable hospitalizations (per 100,000 population) for selected conditions. It is based upon a composite indicator for twelve ambulatory care-sensitive conditions. Examples include diabetes complications, adult asthma, hypertension, heart failure, dehydration, urinary tract infection, and bacterial pneumonia. Hospitalizations due to these conditions are potentially preventable through access to high-quality outpatient care.[1]
