Geography of ED Use and Population Health

Completed

Conditions studied: Emergencies, Diabetes Mellitus

In brief

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.
