Brief Summary
The goal of this study is to create predictive models of emergency care and metrics for population health that can be used to analyze how events like hospital closures or disasters like Hurricane Sandy affect health care utilization by patients in specific populations or geographic regions. Additionally, it will allow the development of metrics for population health that can act as surveillance mechanisms to measure disease prevalence and identify patterns in emergency department use that can be used to identify specific geographic regions where health care is either optimized to promote health or needs to be improve so that population health can be improved.

In order to identify repeat ED visits by the same individual, unique identifiers within SPARCS match visits by the same individual throughout the study period
1 Day
Secondary Outcomes (3)
Surveillance of Disease Prevalence
1 Day
Extension to Other Disease Conditions and Geographies
1 Day
Hospital Selection
1 Day
Study Arms (1)
Patients visiting an emergency department in New York State
Interventions
The Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System (SPARCS) is a comprehensive data reporting system created to collect information on discharges from hospitals. SPARCS currently collects patient level detail on patient characteristics, diagnoses and treatments, services, and charges for every hospital discharge, ambulatory surgery patient, and emergency department admission in New York State.
Eligibility Criteria
Includes all patients visiting an emergency department in New York State
You may qualify if:
- Patients visiting an emergency department in New York State
You may not qualify if:
- Depending on the population analyzed, may exclude some subpopulations such as children (in order study adults), prisoners or patients transferred from other healthcare facilities (in order to study non-institutionalized individuals).
