INTRODUCTION: Rates of potentially preventable hospitalisations (PPH) are used as
a proxy measure of effectiveness of, or access to community-based health
services. The validity of PPH as an indicator in Australia has not been
confirmed. Available evidence suggests that patient-related, clinician-related
and systems-related factors are associated with PPH, with differences between
rural and metropolitan settings. Furthermore, the proportion of PPHs which are
actually preventable is unknown. The Diagnosing Potentially Preventable
Hospitalisations study will determine the proportion of PPHs for chronic
conditions that are deemed preventable and identify potentially modifiable
factors driving these, in order to develop effective interventions to reduce
admissions and improve measures of health system performance. METHODS AND
ANALYSIS: This mixed methods data linkage study of approximately 1000 eligible
patients with chronic PPH admissions to one metropolitan and two regional
hospitals over 12?months will combine data from multiple sources to assess the:
extent of preventability of chronic PPH admissions; validity of the
Preventability Assessment Tool (PAT) in identifying preventable admissions;
factors contributing to chronic PPH admissions. Data collected from patients
(quantitative and qualitative methods), their general practitioners, hospital
clinicians and hospital records, will be linked with routinely collected New
South Wales (NSW) Admitted Patient Data Collection, the NSW Registry of Births,
Death and Marriages death registration and Australian Bureau of Statistics
mortality data. The validity of the PAT will be assessed by determining
concordance between clinician assessment and that of a 'gold standard' panel.
Multivariable logistic regression will identify the main predictor variables of
admissions deemed preventable, using study-specific and linked data. ETHICS AND
DISSEMINATION: The NSW Population and Health Services Research Ethics Committee
granted ethical approval. Dissemination mechanisms include engagement of policy
stakeholders through a project Steering Committee, and the production of summary
reports for policy and clinical audiences in addition to peer-review papers.
