Notes on Methodology
- This is a Prevention Quality Indicator (PQI) measure. PQIs are a set of measures that can be used with hospital inpatient discharge data to identify quality of care for "ambulatory care sensitive conditions." These are conditions for which good outpatient care can potentially prevent the need for hospitalization or for which early intervention can prevent complications or more severe disease.
- There is no benchmark available for this PQI measure.
