The indicator measures the number of emergency admissions to hospital in England for acute conditions such as ear/nose/throat infections, kidney/urinary tract infections and angina, among others, that could potentially have been avoided if the patient had been better managed in primary care.
Purpose
This indicator aims to measure the reduction in emergency admissions for conditions that should usually be managed outside hospital. Where an individual has been admitted for one of these conditions, it may indicate that they have deteriorated more than should have been allowed by the adequate provision of healthcare in primary care or as a hospital outpatient.
