  1. PPH: Potentially Preventable Hospitalizations; COPD: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease; CHF: Congestive Heart Failure. The σ parameter describes the specific patterns for each condition of the Shared Component Model. The δ parameter is a measure of the strength of the association between the shared pattern for all 6 conditions and the specific pattern for each condition.
