Effectiveness of Care<br />

Hawaii, home to more than half of Native Hawaiians in the United States, is a leader in collecting health<br />

information on NHOPI and Asian populations. Here we provide information from the Hawaii State Inpatient<br />

Databases on admissions for congestive heart failure among NHOPI and Asian subpopulations.<br />

n In Hawaii, between 2005 and 2007, Native Hawaiians, Other Pacific Islanders, and Filipinos had<br />

higher rates of hospital admissions for congestive heart failure than Whites while Japanese people<br />

had lower rates than Whites (Figure 2.11).<br />

n NHOPI and Asian subpopulations are quite diverse. Considerable variation in rates was observed<br />

among the different subgroups.<br />
