Abstract
  • This data briefing aims to highlight for commissioners the opportunity for improving the quality of care and saving costs that reducing emergency hospital admissions for ambulatory care-sensitive conditions (ACSCs) presents. It uses Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) data to examine the sociodemographic patterns of emergency admissions for each ACSC and calculates the cost of these admissions. It also investigates variations in admissions for ACSCs among local authority districts in England and estimates the potential for reducing these admissions and associated costs.
