Preventable Inpatient Visit Rate by ZIP Code

The rate of preventable inpatient visits varies widely by ZIP code across the region. In six ZIP codes the PQI rate is more than double than region’s average. Three are in Rochester (14604, 14605 and 14611), and the others are in rural areas in Livingston, Steuben and Schuyler counties. The other areas with relatively high PQI rates tend to be the same ZIP codes that have lower socioeconomic status.
