Trend data generally reflect the two-year period ending in or refer to Appendix A1 for additional detail (trend data were not available for all indicators). ACS = ambulatory care sensitive. ACS conditions among Medicare beneficiaries are displayed here separately for two age ranges, but counted as a single indicator in tallies of improvement. (a) Improvement or worsening refers to a change between the baseline and current time periods of at least 0.5 standard deviations. (b) Includes the number of states with no change or without sufficient data for this subpopulation to assess change over time. commonwealthfund.org March

5 APPENDIX A4. National Cumulative Impact If All States Acheived Top State Rate Indicator Insured adults,382,605 Insured children 3,,26 If all states improved their performance to the level of the best-performing state for this indicator, then: more adults (ages 64) would be covered by health insurance (public or private), and therefore would be more likely to receive health care when needed. more children (ages 0 ) would be covered by health insurance (public or private), and therefore would be more likely to receive health care when needed. Went without care because of cost,688,32 fewer adults (age and older) would go without needed health care because of cost. High out-of-pocket medical spending,852,88 fewer individuals would be burdened by high out-of-pocket spending on medical care. Adult usual source of care,, Adult cancer screening,36,48 more adults (age and older) would have a usual source of care to help ensure that care is coordinated and accessible when needed. more adults would receive age- and gender-appropriate recommended cancer screenings, including tests for colon, breast, and cervical cancers. Adult vaccines,8,850 more adults would receive age- appropriate recommended vaccines. Children with a medical home,, more children (ages 0 ) would have a medical home to help ensure that care is coordinated and accessible when needed. Children vaccines 5, more children (ages 35 months) would receive all recommended vaccines. Children with preventive medical and dental visits,6,054 more children (ages 0 ) would receive annual preventive medical and dental care visits each year. Medicare received a high-risk drug 1,066,0 fewer Medicare beneficiaries would receive an inappropriately prescribed medication. Preventable hospital admissions among children 5,0 fewer children (ages 2 ) would be hospitalized for asthma exacerbations. Hospital readmissions 4,833 fewer hospital readmissions would occur among Medicare beneficiaries (age 65 and older). Potentially avoidable emergency department visits 1,46,533 Mortality amenable to health care 0,032 fewer emergency department visits for nonemergent or primary care treatable conditions would occur among Medicare beneficiaries. fewer premature deaths (before age 5) might occur from causes that are potentially treatable or preventable with timely and appropriate health care. Breast cancer deaths,4 fewer women would die from breast cancer. Colon cancer deaths,842 fewer individuals would die from colon cancer. Suicides,581 fewer individuals would take their own lives. Infant mortality,08 more infants would live to see their first birthday. Adults who smoke,584,5 fewer adults would smoke, reducing their risk of lung and heart disease. Adults who are obese,53,3 Children who are overweight or obese 3,0,24 fewer adults would be obese, with body weights that increase their risk for disease and long-term complications. fewer children (ages ) would be overweight or obese, thus reducing the potential for poor health as they transition into adulthood. Adults with tooth loss,80,400 fewer adults (ages 64) would have lost six or more teeth to decay, infection, or gum disease. commonwealthfund.org March
