Goal

In the current codebase, both "hospitalizations" and "hospital admissions" are used to refer to incident hospital admissions. The former is ambiguous and can be interpreted as prevalence (number of currently hospitalized individuals) as opposed to incidence (number of new admissions).

"Hospital admissions" is less ambiguous, and so we should standardize on that.
