Hospital Revisits Within 30 Days After Conventional and Robotically Assisted Hysterectomy
OBJECTIVES: To compare the rates of hospital readmissions, emergency department, and outpatient clinic visits after discharge for robotically assisted (RA) versus nonrobotic hysterectomy in women age 30 or more with nonmalignant conditions. DATA SOURCES: Discharges for 2011 for 8 states (CA, FL, GA, IA, MO, NE, NY, TN) (>86,000 inpatient hysterectomies) were drawn from the statewide databases of the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project. Data f…
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…
Modifying DRG-PPS to Include Only Diagnoses Present on Admission
OBJECTIVE: The inability to distinguish complications acquired in hospital from comorbid conditions that are present on admission (POA) has long hampered the use of claims data in quality and safety research. Now pay-for-performance initiatives and legislation requiring Medicare to reduce payment for acquired infections add imperative for POA coding. This study used data from 2 states currently coding POA to assess the financial impact if Medicar…
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…
Primary Care, HMO Enrollment, and Hospitalization for Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions
OBJECTIVE: To examine the association of primary care availability, HMO enrollment, and other person and location variables with potentially preventable hospitalization for adults in New York State, compared with other types of hospitalization. DATA SOURCES/STUDY SETTING: Hospital discharges of New York residents in the age group 20-64 hospitalized either in New York or in three contiguous states: New Jersey, Pennsylvania, or Connecticut using 19…
Access to Heart and Liver Transplantation in the Late 1980s
Because of a shortage of usable organs, many who require heart or liver transplants for survival will not have access to them. Access to care may reflect demographic factors and ability to pay, as well as medical considerations. Receipt of an organ may be influenced by expected survival with and without a transplant, age, gender, race, ability to pay, and distance to a transplant center. Discharge abstract data from a national sample of over 500 …
Increased Use of an Expensive, Elective Procedure
Between 1980 and 1987, the number of hospital discharges with total hip replacement (THR) increased by more than 90%, while total hospital discharges fell by more than 10%. Total hip replacement is one of the most costly hospital inpatient procedures, both per case and in total Medicare expenses. Explanations for the growth in use of THR may clarify some of the major forces driving national health care costs. This study assumes that treatment cho…

Medicare Beneficiary Decision Making About Health Insurance
A two-phase study involving focus group interviews and a survey of 2,016 Medicare beneficiaries was conducted to examine beneficiary decision making about health insurance under a hypothetical Medicare voucher program. Some of the major findings were that: beneficiaries lack important information about Medicare and health insurance in general; plans with physician restrictions, no restrictions on hospitals, and benefits for custodial long-term ca…

Risk Aversion and the Consumer Choice of Health Insurance Option
T HE dominant type of health insurance contract in the United States contains a formula providing partial reimbursement to the consumer for expenditures on selected goods and services. The consumer pays a predetermined amount per period, the premium. At the beginning of the period specified in the insurance contract, the consumer is uncertain about many future developments. The occurrence of various illnesses, the amount of medical services consu…
