Abstract:
Data on the utilization of healthcare services are useful for assessing the health status of the general population and the delivery of hospital services in a state that is facing major health and healthcare challenges. They can assist health planning and health system reform efforts by allowing comparisons to other states and to national averages, by identifying patient groups with unusually high utilization rates, by tracking trends in utilization over time, and by demonstrating the effects of various healthcare reforms. This report summarizes hospital inpatient discharge data for patients treated in Tennessee's non-federal, short-stay hospitals in 2005. The analysis focuses on the hospital utilization patterns of leading acute and chronic conditions for racial and gender groups.
