Key Takeaway
That outpatient case counts rose in recent years across almost all the common disease states listed
should perhaps come as little surprise, given the emphasis in health care on reducing admissions
and shifting care to less costly settings. A coincident drop in inpatient admissions count would
also be expected. The challenge for providers will be to sustain these trends, which likely means
increasing coordinated prevention efforts to help patients minimize chronic disease progression.
