Potentially Preventable Hospitalizations Among Adults With Pediatric-Onset Disabilities.
To examine the risk of any and specific potentially preventable hospitalizations (PPHs) for adults with cerebral palsy (CP) or spina bifida (SB). We hypothesize that PPH risk is greater among adults with CP/SB compared with the general population. ⋯ Adults with pediatric-onset disabilities are at a greater risk for PPHs. Providing better access to preventive care and health-promoting services, especially for respiratory and urinary outcomes, may reduce PPH risk among this patient population.

Implementation of an All-Day Artificial Intelligence-Based Triage System to Accelerate Door-to-Balloon Times.
To implement an all-day artificial intelligence (AI)-based system to facilitate chest pain triage in the emergency department. ⋯ Implementation of an all-day AI-based triage system significantly reduced the D2B time, with a corresponding increase in the percentage of D2B times less than 90 minutes in the emergency department. This system may help minimize preventable delays in D2B times for patients with STEMI undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
