ACSCs 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.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Overall<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n \t<li>The overall hospital admissions composite is a rate per 100,000 population that includes individuals ages 18 years and older with one of the following ACSCs: diabetes with short-term complications, diabetes with long-term complications, uncontrolled diabetes without complications, diabetes with lower-extremity amputation, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, hypertension, heart failure, dehydration, bacterial pneumonia, or urinary tract infection.<\/li>\n \t<li>The information below presents population level results for years 2012 through 2018. In the years prior to SIM (2012 to 2015), the rate of hospital admissions per 100,000 was on a downward trend resulting in a 5.7% reduction from 2012 (1,479) to 2015 (1,394). In 2016, the first year of SIM implementation, the observed rate of 1,351 was a decrease of 3% from 2015 (1,394).\u00a0By 2018, the last year for which data are available, the observed rate of 1335 was a decrease of 4.2% from 2015 (1,394).<\/li>\n \t<li>Target values were established to set annual reduction goals for the SIM implementation years (2016 to 2018). The reduction in target values range from 3.5% to 3.7%.\u00a0 In 2016, the observed rate was comparable to the target rate. However, in 2017 the observed rate was almost 5% greater than the target rate for that year, and in 2018 the observed rate was 7.7% greater than the target rate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Acute<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n \t<li>The composite score of acute conditions includes: dehydration, bacterial pneumonia, or urinary tract infection.<\/li>\n \t<li>In the years prior to SIM (2012 to 2015), the rate of hospital admissions per 100,000 was on a downward trend resulting in a 19.9% reduction from 2012 (643) to 2015 (515). In 2016, the first year of SIM implementation, the observed rate of 496 was a decrease of 3.6% from 2015 (515). By 2018, the observed rate of 415 was a decrease of 19.4% from 2015.<\/li>\n \t<li>The percent reduction in target values range from 10.5% to 12.9%. In 2016, the observed rate was 7.8% greater than the target rate. By 2017 the observed rate was only 1.2% greater than the target rate, however, in 2018 the observed rate was 14.6% greater than the target rate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Chronic<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n \t<li>The composite score for chronic conditions includes: diabetes with short-term complications, diabetes with long-term complications, uncontrolled diabetes without complications, diabetes with lower-extremity amputation, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, hypertension, or heart failure without a cardiac procedure.<\/li>\n \t<li>In the years prior to SIM (2012 to 2015), the rate of hospital admissions per 100,000 was on an upward trend increasing by 5.1%. In 2016, the first year of SIM implementation, the observed rate of 855 was a 2.7% decrease from the 2015 observed rate of 879. By 2018, the observed rate of 920 was an increase of 4.7% from 2015.<\/li>\n \t<li>The target values range from 877 in 2016 to 878 in 2018. Although this is an increase of 2 percentage points, it is a slower increase in the rate than predicted. In 2016, the observed rate was 2.5% less than the target rate. However, by 2018 the observed rate increased by 65 percentage points and was 4.8% greater than the target rate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr>\n<p><h4>Information Source<\/h4>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qualityindicators.ahrq.gov\/Modules\/pqi_resources.aspx\">Prevention Quality Indicators Overview<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-1704-0-0-2\" class=\"widget_text so-panel widget widget_custom_html panel-last-child\" data-index=\"2\" ><div class=\"textwidget custom-html-widget\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/public.tableau.com\/views\/PQI_AD_2019_Overall\/Overall_story?:display_count=y&publish=yes&:toolbar=n&:origin=viz_share_link;:toolbar=no&amp;:origin=viz_share_link;&amp;:showVizHome=no\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"850\" height=\"1000\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Healthcare Delivery Hospital Admissions for Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions: Rate per 100,000 &#8211; Connecticut Total<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1235,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-blank.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-22 20:01:25","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/population-health\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1704"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/population-health\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/population-health\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/population-health\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1235"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/population-health\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1704"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/population-health\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1704\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4140,"href":"https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/population-health\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1704\/revisions\/4140"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/population-health\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1704"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
