The U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) developed Prevention Quality Indicators (PQIs), which identify hospital admissions that may be avoided through access to high-quality outpatient care. Four PQIs are related to diabetes: longterm complications (renal, ophthalmic or neurological manifestations, and peripheral circulatory disorders); short-term complications (ketoacidosis, hyperosmolarity and coma); amputation, and uncontrolled diabetes. For all diabetes indicators, hospitalization rates were lower in Orange County than in California.
