how patients in your area use the hospitals around them.

Avoidable Hospital Stays

An avoidable hospital stay is one that might have been avoided with better medical care outside of the hospital. High rates of avoidable hospital stays can point to possible breakdowns in health care in the community. Information about avoidable hospital stays is presented by county where patients live, not by where hospitals are located.

Health Care Service Use

Information about service use tells you how many patients use specific hospital services, how often and for how many days a patient stays in the hospital, or how often people visit the Emergency Department. You can see this information for each hospital, county, and region.
