Key Unit Activities
• Quarterly member meetings to promote collaboration, present key policy issues and research priorities, discuss member ideas for proposals and ongoing projects.
• Identify intra- and extramural funding opportunities pertinent to research foci of interest and identify teams of IHPI researchers who can competitively pursue such opportunities.
• Quarterly student/trainee conferences with med/grad students and residents/fellows to promote interest in acute care research and related policy issues.

Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions
• Ambulatory care sensitive conditions (ACSC) comprise conditions that if treated appropriately in the ambulatory care setting should not result in a hospitalization; including cardiac, pulmonary, GU, infectious, nutritional, and dental conditions.
• Improving management of ACSCs in the ambulatory care setting has been recognized as one strategy to reduce potentially avoidable ED visits and hospitalizations
• In the state of Michigan, between 2008 and 2012, rates of hospitalizations per 10,000 population for ACSC for all ages was approximately 268 (265,627 average annual hospitalizations)

Methods
• Retrospective, observational study using ambulatory care, ED, and inpatient data from electronic health records at UMHS from over a 20-month period between 2012-2014
• In patients 18 years and older, using ICD-9 codes for ACSCs, evaluated:• % of ED visits that are billed for ACSCs and proportion of
those visits that are preceded by an ambulatory care visit in the prior 2 weeks
• % of hospitalizations that are billed for ACSCs and proportion of those visits that are preceded by an ambulatory care visit in the prior 2 weeks

Results: UMHS ACSC ED Visits
• 88,365 ED visits met our inclusion criteria
• Approximately,19% had an ACSC-related ED visit
• Among patients who had such visits:• 20% were seen in the ambulatory setting for any
condition in the 2 weeks prior to their visit• 12% were seen in the ambulatory setting for an ACSC in
the 2 weeks prior to their visit

Results: UMHS ACSC Hospitalizations
• 391,657 hospitalizations met our inclusion criteria
• Approximately, 25% had an ACSC-related hospitalization
• Among patients who had such hospitalizations:• 36% were seen in the ambulatory setting for any
condition in the 2 weeks prior to their hospitalization• 30% were seen in the ambulatory setting for an ACSC in
the 2 weeks prior to their hospitalization

Next steps
• Further characterize ACSC ED visits and hospitalizations
• Evaluate barriers to improved management of ACSC in the ambulatory setting and potential related strategies
