Risk of Closure Among Independent and Multihospital-Affiliated Rural Hospitals
The results of this cohort study suggest that affiliations may be associated with lower risk of closure for some rural hospitals in financial distress. However, among initially financially stable hospitals, an increased risk of closure for hospitals associated with affiliation and proprietary ownership raises concerns about the association of affiliation with closures in some circumstances. Policy interventions to stabilize inpatient care in rura…
Measuring Mortality Performance
BACKGROUND: Safety-net hospitals (SNHs) tend to be weaker in financial condition than other hospitals, leading to a concern about how the quality of care at these hospitals would compare to other hospitals. OBJECTIVES: To assess mortality performance of SNHs using all-payer databases and measures for a broad range of conditions and procedures. DESIGN: Longitudinal analysis of hospitals from 2006 through 2011 with data from the Healthcare Cost and…
Examining the Value of Inpatient Nurse Staffing
BACKGROUND: Inpatient quality deficits have important implications for the health and well-being of patients. They also have important financial implications for payers and hospitals by leading to longer lengths of stay and higher intensity of treatment. Many of these costly quality deficits are particularly sensitive to nursing care. OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of nurse staffing on quality of care and inpatient care costs. DESIGN: Longitudin…
Likelihood of Hospital Readmission after First Discharge
This study tests whether the likelihood of hospital readmission within 30 days of discharge is different for enrollees in Medicare Advantage plans versus the standard fee-for-service program. A key requirement is to control for self-selection into Advantage plans. The study uses statewide inpatient databases maintained by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality for five states in 2006. The type of Medicare coverage is known, along with an …
Do Patient Safety Events Increase Readmissions
OBJECTIVE: Adverse safety events in the hospital could impose extra costs not only due to longer stays and corrective treatments, but also due to deaths and readmissions. The effects of safety events on readmissions have rarely been analyzed. Large, all-payer and all-diagnosis databases permit new tests. This study will simultaneously test the effects of safety events on risks of deaths and readmission. STUDY DESIGN: The population is a selection…
Costly Hospital Readmissions and Complex Chronic Illness
People with multiple chronic conditions account for a large and disproportionate share of total health care costs. One aspect of the high cost for such patients is a relatively high number of hospital admissions per year. This study aims to clarify how the rate of hospital readmissions and hospital cost per person in a year depend on a patient's number of different chronic conditions ("complexity"), severity of illness, principal diagnosis at dis…
Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Potentially Preventable Readmissions
Objectives. Considerable differences in prevalence of diabetes and management of the disease exist among racial/ethnic groups. We examined the relationship between race/ethnicity and hospital readmissions for diabetes-related conditions. Methods. Nonmaternal adult patients with Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance coverage hospitalized for diabetes-related conditions in 5 states were identified from the 1999 State Inpatient Databases of the H…
