Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. – Local health planning councils will soon be armed with knowledge that will enable them to better meet the health care needs of their communities. Broward Regional Health Planning Council today received $95,000 from » The Blue Foundation for a Healthy Florida, the philanthropic affiliate of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida (BCBSF). The grant will fund research to identify gaps in primary and preventative health services.
The Florida Statewide Prevention Quality Indicator Initiative (PQI) will look at emergency room and hospital inpatient admission data across the state and determine which hospital and emergency room admissions could have been prevented had quality primary care and preventative services been accessible. Congestive heart failure, hypertension and diabetes are among the 14 avoidable admissions analyzed.
