Query Builder for Emergency Department Encounter for Primary Care Sensitive Conditions Query Module for Utah Counties and Local Health Districts - Percentage- ED Treat and Release Encounters

Overview

The emergency department patient encounter data in this IBIS-Q query module come from all Utah licensed hospitals. The database is maintained by the Utah Department of Health and Human Services, Bureau of Emergency Medical Services. The population estimates for years 1980-1999 were produced by the Utah Governor's Office of Planning and Budget (GOPB). For years 2000 and later the population estimates are provided by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) through a collaborative agreement with the U.S. Census Bureau.

As of November 22, 2017, the IBIS system has been updated to use an algorithm which uses both ZIP and county information to designate Local Health District (LHD) and Utah Small Area. Queries by LHD or Small Area may yield different numbers than in prior months. For more information go to [https://ibis.utah.gov/ibisph-view/pdf/resource/Algorithm.pdf]

This module uses the NYU ED classification algorithm to report ED data. The algorithm was developed with the advice of a panel of emergency medicine and primary care physicians, and it is based on an examination of a sample of almost 6,000 full patient ED records. Each case was classified into Emergent Primary Care Treatable, Emergent ED Care Needed but Not Preventable/Avoidable, Emergent ED Care Needed but Preventable/Avoidable, Psych, Alcohol and Drug Related, Mental Health Related, Injury, Unclassified.

  • What year grouping do you want to select? Default is single years, most recent year.






  • Predefined Causes of ED Encounters/Hospitalizations

    There are several predefined causes to choose from. If causes on the predefined list does not meet your needs, you may enter your own ICD codes by selecting, User-defined causes.
    Which ED primary care sensitive conditions do you want to include in the analysis:

  • First choose a coding scheme to use for age groups.(Default is age adjustment age groups, all ages.)

  • Would you like to include only males or only females in the results? Default includes both sexes.


  • First choose a geography type.

To display a map, you must select Geographic Area in Display By (category) and None in Group By (series)

Primary group by field

Defines the data's primary grouping dimension. The primary grouping is required and also controls the ordering of the result's data rows. In MS-Excel and other graphing packages this is typically referred to as the the "dataset's category". If viewing in a 2-d table layout then this value/dimension is associated with table's "row" values. Others will refer to this value as the first "cross by" or the first dimension.

Optional secondary group by field

Defines the 2nd field (or dimension) to be used to group and aggregate values by. MS-Excel chart users will commonly refer to this as the dataset's "series" field. If viewing in a 2-d table layout then this field is associated with data table's value columns. Series group bys are optional. Maps and some charts, like the "Pie" chart, are currently not programmed to handle datasets that have more than one group by e.g. they only work with the primary category type group by being specified.

Optional chart graph

Defines the optional chart graphic to display.

NOTE: Maps and some charts, like the "Pie" chart, are currently not programmed to handle datasets that have more than one group by e.g. they only work with the primary category type group by being specified. All other charts will only work with a maximum of 2 group bys e.g. if the fixed group by exists then the series group by can NOT be used with charting or maps.

Optional map graph

Defines the optional map graphic to display.

NOTE: Maps are only available when the category is set to a geographical area and does not have a series defined.

Available Measures

Defines the primary measure value to display in the map and graph.
