Physician Supply And Preventable Hospitalizations By County - Anticipated Retirement Of Practicing Physicians

These datasets contain hospitalization rates for seven prevention quality indicators (PQIs) and supply rates for physicians who treat these conditions per county. The conditions include: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); hypertension; heart failure; community-acquired pneumonia; urinary tract infection (UTI); asthma in younger adults; and diabetes. Hospitalizations due to these medical conditions are potentially preventable through access to high-quality outpatient care. Rates are displayed per 100,000 population. Anticipated retirement of practicing physician specialists who provide direct patient care is also shown by county. See the PQI to physician area of practice list below to see which specialists would be needed to prevent and/or treat each PQI.
