Understanding the potential (and limitations) for avoiding secondary care through management of ambulatory care sensitive conditions

2015-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Background and Aim: There is a subset of conditions - Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions (ACSCs) - for which emergency admission into secondary care is thought to be avoidable through better primary care. This research aims to: develop a model to predict ACSC-admission rates by GP practice; determine whether ACSC-admission rates are a viable performance metric; identify how much inefficiency exists among practic...
