In avoidable hospital conditions (AHC), inpatient hospitalizations are avoided through an effective outpatient treatment approach. Using the two-county age-specific utilization rates as the standard, expected discharges and indirect age-adjusted rates were calculated for all zip codes. The average rate for all three DRGs was 28.8 discharges …
