Emergency Department Visits. Emergency Department visits are reported in the OHRS as Emergency Visits (all scheduled, non-scheduled, IP and OP visits in Emergency functional centres).

Emergency Department Visits. There were 508,141 injury-related emergency department (ED) visits among Kentucky resi- dents in 2017.The leading mechanisms of injury-related ED visits were falls (147,428), being struck by or against an object or person (67,488), motor vehicle traffic crashes (56,686), and overexertion (34,250). The leading mechanism of intentional injury-related ED visits was struck by/against (11,930). TBI (either TBI alone or in combination with other injuries) accounted for 11,652 ED visits. The majority of the TBI-related ED visits were unintentional (86%). Falls were the leading mecha- nism of TBI-related ED visits (39%).
Emergency Department Visits. 2009 by Age Group In 2009, there were a total of 89,450 ED visits in Florida with asthma listed as the primary diagnosis. Approximately 53% of these ED visits (47,212) occurred among Floridian adults aged 18 years and older. The younger adult groups had a larger number of ED visits than any of the older adult groups (Table 1). It is important to note that individuals visiting the ED that are admitted to the hospital are removed from the ED visit counts.
Emergency Department Visits. Summary Reducing ED visits, particularly among populations with the highest ED visitation rates (adults ages 18‐49, females, and blacks), should be a priority given the burden placed on the health care system. Efforts should focus on ensuring those visiting the ED receive self‐management education, have access to and know how to properly use prescribed medications, and are connected to a primary care provider or specialist who can monitor the individual’s asthma and provide the routine care needed to prevent emergencies. Many EDs in Florida and across the country are working on quality improvement initiatives to improve patient care and to help prevent repeat ED visits due to asthma. As these programs expand, we will likely see reduced disparities, reduced rates of ED visits, improved quality of life and reduced costs. HOSPITALIZATIONS
Emergency Department Visits. The leading causes of injury-related emergency department (ED) visits in Kentucky were unintentional falls (146,114), being struck by or against an object or person (59,434), motor vehicle traffic crashes (51,679), overexertion (41,541), and unintentional cuts/piercings (30,306). The leading cause of violent injury-related hospitalizations was assault by fights, brawls, and rapes (6,208). TBI** accounted for 35,014 emergency department visits. * Throughout this report, data on mortalities are reported for the entire 2015 year. Data on morbidities (both hospitaliza- tions and emergency department visits) use data from October 1, 2014 to September 30, 2015 to account for ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CM coding changes. Data are provisional and subject to change. ** Traumatic brain injury is reported as a cause of death on the death certificate alone or in combination with other inju- xxxx or conditions. *** TBI alone or in combination with other injuries or conditions.

Emergency Department Visits. In 2009, there were a total of 42,238 ED visits among children under the age of 18 in Florida with asthma listed as the primary diagnosis. While children under the age of 18 in Florida only make up about 22% of the state’s population, this group accounted for almost half (47.2%) of the total asthma‐related ED visits among all ages in 2009. Younger children had a larger number of ED visits than older children (Table 2). Table 2. Count of Asthma Related ED Visits by Age Group, Ages 0‐17, AHCA, 2009 Age Group Count Percent 0 ‐ 4 17,413 41.2% 5‐10 15,357 36.4% 11‐17 9,468 22.4% Total 42,238 100% XX visits due to asthma are largely preventable with proper management and control. Healthy People 2020, a report providing science‐based 10‐year objectives for the health of all Americans, includes a national objective to reduce the rate of asthma ED visits to less than 95.5 per 10,000 (or 955 per 100,000) among children ages 0 to 4 and less than 49.1 per 10,000 (or 491 per 100,000) for children ages 5 to 17. In 2009, the crude rate of asthma ED visits in Florida for ages 0‐4 was 1,531.8 per 100,000 and the crude rate for ages 5‐17 was 823.8 per 100,000. Males (1,238.1) had a higher rate of ED visits than females (787.8). Black children had a higher rate of asthma ED visits (2,303.5) than white children (593.9), a notable disparity (Figure 8). 2500 Rate per 100,000 2000 1500 1000 500 0 Figure 8.

Emergency Department Visits. The leading causes of injury-related emergency department (ED) visits in Kentucky in 2010 were unintentional falls (136,204), motor vehicle traffic accidents (53,055), and accidentally being struck by or against an object or person (52,288). Unintentional falls were the leading cause of injury- related emergency department visits across the entire lifespan. The total number of injury-related ED visits reported in 2010 was 486,244. (Preliminary data sug- gest that this number increased modestly in 2011. However the 2011 numbers are provisional at this time and subject to change.) 2010 was the first year that ED visits were included in this report, so comparisons to previous years are not provided.
