Preventable Hospital Stays: Medicare Population

Measurement Period: 2022
This indicator shows the hospital discharge rate for ambulatory care-sensitive conditions (ACSC) per 100,000 Medicare enrollees.

Why is this important?

The measure of preventable hospitalizations in a community indicates the quality and accessibility of primary health care services available. If the quality of care in the outpatient setting is poor, then people may be more likely to overuse the hospital as a main source of care and be hospitalized unnecessarily. An area with a higher density of primary care providers usually has lower rates of hospitalization for ambulatory care-sensitive conditions. If access to high quality primary care is increased, a community may be able to reduce its preventable hospitalizations.
