Subgroup Analysis (Ortho and Psych)

Subgroup Analysis (Ortho and Psych) - Poster Presentation to ICCH15 (Fairbanks, Alaska)

It was a busy summer of research presentations (and moving).  After helping to unload a moving truck in Victoria I flew up to Alaska to present the data on outcomes for orthopedic and psychiatry patients back in 2009.  What this study was looking at was the ability of clinicians to predict the acuity of these two sets of patients.  Does the gestalt that the receiving clinical get on the phone correlate with the patient's need for hospitalization?  The answer, according to this analysis is yes.
