22 Results of Community Interventions: Under the leadership of the county judge, community health coalitions in Freestone and Red River County used the potentially preventable hospitalization data to implement community interventions (e.g., vaccine outreach campaign) to reduce hospitalizations for Bacterial Pneumonia. Freestone County: 32% decrease in hospitalizations for Bacterial Pneumonia for 2008 as compared to 2007 ($1,055,448 in hospital charges were avoided). Red River County: 29% decrease in hospitalizations for Bacterial Pneumonia for 1 st Quarter 2008 as compared to 1 st Quarter 2009 ($317,658 in hospital charges were avoided). Adult Potentially Preventable Hospitalizations in Texas

23 Upcoming Community Interventions : Community interventions to reduce hospitalizations for Bacterial Pneumonia are currently being planned for the following counties:  Fannin County (Health Service Region 2/3)  Montague County (Health Service Region 2/3)  Runnels County (Health Service Region 2/3)  Stonewall County (Health Service Region 2/3)  Liberty County (Health Service Region 6/5S)  Waller County (Health Service Region 6/5S) Adult Potentially Preventable Hospitalizations in Texas
