  • The purpose of this presentation is to provide
    information that can be used to
  • Identify potential health care access problems
  • Identify potential unmet health care needs
  • Monitor the degree to which hospitalizations
    are avoided and dollars saved and
  • Assist in developing strategies to improve
    health care and reduce costs.

  • Adult hospitalizations for the following
    conditions are called preventable
    hospitalizations, because if the individual had
    access to and cooperated with outpatient health
    care, hospitalization for these conditions could
    potentially have been prevented
  • 1. Bacterial Pneumonia
  • 2. Dehydration
  • 3. Urinary Tract Infection
  • 4. Perforated Appendix
  • 5. Low Birth Weight
  • 6. Angina (without Procedures)
  • 7. Congestive Heart Failure
  • 8. Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)
  • 9. Adult Asthma
  • 10. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
  • 11. Diabetes Short-Term Complications
  • 12. Diabetes Long-Term Complications
  • 13. Uncontrolled Diabetes and
  • 14. Lower Extremity Amputation among Patients
    with Diabetes.

  • In 2005, adult residents of Texas received
    6,595,967,945 in hospital charges for these
    preventable hospitalization conditions
  • 1. Bacterial Pneumonia
  • 2. Dehydration
  • 3. Urinary Tract Infection
  • 4. Perforated Appendix
  • 5. Low Birth Weight
  • 6. Angina (without Procedures)
  • 7. Congestive Heart Failure
  • 8. Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)
  • 9. Adult Asthma
  • 10. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
  • 11. Diabetes Short-Term Complications
  • 12. Diabetes Long-Term Complications
  • 13. Uncontrolled Diabetes and
  • 14. Lower Extremity Amputation among Patients
    with Diabetes.

  • Low rates of preventable hospitalizations can
    mean outpatient health care providers are doing a
    good job in diagnosing, educating and treating
    patients. Additionally, low rates can mean
    patients are participating in their care and
    adopting healthy lifestyle behaviors.

High rates of preventable hospitalizations can
mean there is room for improvement in outpatient
health care. For example, the need for
outpatient health care providers to diagnose,
educate and treat patients. Additionally, high
rates can mean there is room for improvement in
patients participating in their care and adopting
healthy lifestyle behaviors.

  • Examples of Recent Activities to
  • Reduce Preventable Hospitalizations
  • Red River County
  • In 2008, a county health coalition has focused on
    reducing Bacterial Pneumonia among senior
    citizens in Red River County. So far, in 2008,
    more than twice the amount of Bacterial Pneumonia
    Vaccinations have been given as compared to the
    total amount given from 2003 to 2007.
  • Lamar County
  • In 2008, two hospitals in Paris jointly funded a
    Coordinator of Community Health Services position
    at the Paris-Lamar County Health Department to
    coordinate health efforts in the county.
