Using state administrative data to identify social complexity risk factors for children.
Researchers aimed to test the feasibility of using an integrated state agency administrative database to identify social complexity risk factors and examine their relationship to emergency department (ED) use. They concluded that State administrative data can be used to identify social complexity risk factors associated with higher rates of ED use among Medicaid-insured children.
