Hospital Inpatient Prevention Quality Indicators (PQI) for Adult Discharges by County (SPARCS): Beginning 2009

This is one of two datasets that contain observed and expected rates for Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Prevention Quality Indicators – Adult (AHRQ PQI) beginning in 2009. This dataset is at the county level. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Prevention Quality Indicators (PQIs) are a set of population based measures that can be used with hospital inpatient discharge data to identify ambulatory care sensitive conditions. These are conditions where 1) the need for hospitalization is potentially preventable with appropriate outpatient care, or 2) conditions that could be less severe if treated early and appropriately. All PQIs apply only to adult populations (over the age of 18 years). The rates were calculated using Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System (SPARCS) inpatient data and Claritas population information.

The observed rates and expected rates for each AHRQ PQI is presented by either resident county (including a statewide total) or resident zip code (including a statewide total).

本数据集为包含自2009年起 Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Prevention Quality Indicators – Adult (AHRQ PQI) 观察值与预期值的两组数据集之一。该数据集按县级行政区域进行划分。 Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) 预防质量指标 (PQIs) 是一套基于人群的衡量标准，可用于与医院住院患者出院数据结合，以识别门诊敏感性疾病。此类疾病包括：1) 通过适当的门诊护理，住院需求可能得到预防的情况；或2) 如果早期且恰当治疗，病情可能得到减轻的情况。所有 PQIs 仅适用于成年人群（18岁以上）。观察值与预期值均采用 Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System (SPARCS) 住院数据与 Claritas 人群信息进行计算。每个 AHRQ PQI 的观察值与预期值均按居民所在县（包括全州总计）或邮政编码（包括全州总计）进行展示。
