Funded Activity Summary

This project will investigate the validity of ‘potentially preventable hospitalisations’ (PPH) as a measure of the quality and affordability of primary and community care in Australia. We will explore relationships between use of primary care services, hospital admissions for PPH diagnoses, and health outcomes and quantify the contributions of person-, geographic- and service-level factors to variations in PPH. We will make recommendations regarding the ongoing use of PPH measures to track the impacts of health reform in Australia.
