This study examined urban/rural differences in the frequency of preventable Emergency Department (ED) visits among patients with Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD), with a focus on the variation of Accountable Care Organization (ACO) participation status for hospitals in urban and rural areas. We performed a cross-sectional study using the 2015 State Emergency Department Databases, the American Hospital Association Annual Survey of Hospitals, and the Area Health Resource File. Individual-, county-, and hospital-level characteristics and state fixed effects were used for model specification. Patients with ADRD from seven states who visited the ED and had routine discharges. Our sample consists of 117,196 patients with ADRD. The outcome was preventable ED visits which was classified using the New York University (NYU) Emergency Department visit algorithm. We performed a multivariable logistic regression to estimate the variation of preventable ED visits by urban and rural areas. Rural patients with ADRD had 1.13 higher adjusted odds (P = 0.007) of going to the ED for a preventable visit compared to their urban counterparts. In addition, ACO-affiliated hospitals had 0.91 lower adjusted odds (P = 0.005) of preventable ED visits for ADRD patients compared to hospitals not affiliated with an ACO. Whole County Mental Health Care Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA) (OR = 1.14, P = 0.002) designation was also an indicator of higher preventable ED rates. ACO delivery systems have the potential to decrease rural preventable ED visits among ADRD patients.
