Comments: | Potentially preventable hospitalisations are called ‘ambulatory care sensitive hospitalisations’ in some jurisdictions. Changes in the ICD-10-AM 6th Edition (in use from July 2008) relating to the PPH categories ‘Dehydration and gastroenteritis’ (acute conditions) and ‘Diabetes complications’ (chronic conditions) have impacted the comparability of 2008–09 data with the previous reporting period.
