About this Dataset

Patients Leaving California Hospitals Against Medical Advice (AMA)

These datasets focus on patients leaving California hospitals in 2019-2020 against medical advice (AMA), which is defined as choosing to leave the hospital before the treating physician recommends discharge. Patients leaving AMA are exposed to higher risks due to inadequately treated medical issues, which may result in the need for readmission.
