| dc.description.abstract | In 2019, nearly 21% of all U.S. households reported a limited English proficient status. Language plays a role in health access & equity. The Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality (AHRQ) defines “potentially avoidable hospitalizations” (PAHs) as hospitalizations that can be prevented if ambulatory/primary care is provided in a timely manner. Little is known about the link between limited English proficiency & PAHs. Our questions are: Is there a significant association between limited English proficiency & overall/specific types of PAHs? Does length of stay (LOS) and total charges for PAHs differ between EP & LEP adults? | en_US |
