  14. Prevention Quality Indicators (PQIs) What are the Prevention Quality Indicators? Prevention Quality Indicators (PQIs) are a set of measures created by the Agency for Health Research and Quality (AHRQ) that identify "ambulatory care sensitive conditions" (ACSCs) in adult populations, using hospital inpatient discharges. ACSCs are conditions for which good outpatient care can potentially prevent the need for hospitalization, or for which early intervention can prevent complications or more severe disease.

  15. Prevention Quality Indicators (PQIs) What do these Indicators tell us? • They can provide initial information about potential problems in the community that may require further, more in-depth analysis. • Higher than anticipated rates may reflect • poor access to care • barriers to timely care • barriers to adherence to medical advice • cultural influences that preclude seeking early treatment • higher prevalence of poor health behaviors
