Study: A Retrospective Claims Analysis of Preventable Hospitalizations Among Wisconsin Medicaid Beneficiaries with Dementia ‐ 2016 Through 2019

Older adults with Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) are often more vulnerable to severe illness and injury than older adults without ADRD. A percentage of the causes of these hospitalizations are considered preventable with good care management. To quantify the impact of the resulting preventable hospitalizations, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services has performed an evaluation using claims data in a retrospective analysis.
