Medicaid Potentially Preventable Emergency Visit (PPV) Rates by Zip Code: Beginning 2011

The dataset contains Potentially Preventable Visit (PPV) observed, expected, and risk-adjusted rates for Medicaid beneficiaries by zip code beginning in 2011. The Potentially Preventable Visits (PPV) obtained from software created by 3M Health Information Systems are emergency visits that may result from a lack of adequate access to care or ambulatory care coordination. These ambulatory sensitive conditions could be reduced or eliminated with adequate patient monitoring and follow up. The rates were calculated using Medicaid inpatient and outpatient data for the numerator and Medicaid enrollment in the county or zip code for the denominator. The observed, expected and risk adjusted rates for PPV are presented by either resident county (including a statewide total) or resident zip code (including a statewide total).

本数据集涵盖2011年起按邮政编码划分的医疗补助计划（Medicaid）受益人群的可预防性就诊（Potentially Preventable Visit，PPV）观测率、预期率与风险调整后率。此类可预防性就诊（PPV）数据由3M健康信息系统（3M Health Information Systems）开发的软件提取，指因缺乏充足的医疗服务可及性或门诊医疗协调不到位而引发的急诊就诊。这类门诊敏感病症可通过完善的患者监测与随访工作得到缓解甚至消除。该费率以医疗补助受益人的住院与门诊数据作为分子，以对应县或邮政编码区域内的医疗补助参保人数作为分母计算得出。可预防性就诊的观测率、预期率与风险调整后率，将按居民所属县（含全州总计）或居民所属邮政编码区域（含全州总计）进行展示。如需获取更多信息，请访问：http://www.health.ny.gov/health_care/medicaid/。该数据集的更多详细信息可通过“关于”标签页获取。
