Notes: From an article entitled, "Trends in quality of primary care in the United States, 2007–2016," by Anshul Saxena, Venkataraghavan Ramamoorthy, Muni Rubens, Peter McGranaghan, Emir Veledar and Khurram Nasir. This retrospective trend analysis of the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) data collected during the period 2007–2016 assessed the quality of primary care using sets of preventable hospitalization conditions defined as Prevention Quality Indicators (PQIs). PQI hospitalization decreased from 154,565 to 151,168 per million hospitalizations during the study period, a relative decrease of 2.2%.
