Does Anesthesia Provider Type Affect Veteran Satisfaction With Care
IMPORTANCE: Anesthesia care is delivered by Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) working independently, physician anesthesiologists working alone, and anesthesia care teams with CRNAs supervised by physician anesthesiologists. The impact of these models and CRNA supervision on patient satisfaction remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: To identify associations between anesthesia care team credentials, CRNA supervision, and patient satisfaction wi…
Homeless Status, Postdischarge Health Care Utilization, and Readmission After Surgery
INTRODUCTION: Homeless Veterans are vulnerable to poor care transitions, yet little research has examined their risk of readmission following inpatient surgery. This study investigates the predictors of surgical readmission among homeless relative to housed Veteran patients. METHODS: Inpatient general, vascular, and orthopedic surgeries occurring in the Veterans Health Administration from 2008 to 2014 were identified. Administrative International…
Does Use of a Hospital-wide Readmission Measure Versus Condition-specific Readmission Measures Make a Difference for Hospital Profiling and Payment Penalties
BACKGROUND: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) use public reporting and payment penalties as incentives for hospitals to reduce readmission rates. In contrast to the current condition-specific readmission measures, CMS recently developed an all-condition, 30-day all-cause hospital-wide readmission measure (HWR) to provide a more comprehensive view of hospital performance. OBJECTIVES: We examined whether assessment of hospital pe…
Medical and Surgical Readmissions in the Veterans Health Administration
BACKGROUND: Readmissions are an attractive quality measure because they offer a broad view of quality beyond the index hospitalization. However, the extent to which medical or surgical readmissions reflect quality of care is largely unknown, because of the complexity of factors related to readmission. Identifying those readmissions that are clinically related to the index hospitalization is an important first step in closing this knowledge gap. O…
Comparing 2 Methods of Assessing 30-Day Readmissions
BACKGROUND: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' (CMS) all-cause readmission measure and the 3M Health Information System Division Potentially Preventable Readmissions (PPR) measure are both used for public reporting. These 2 methods have not been directly compared in terms of how they identify high-performing and low-performing hospitals. OBJECTIVES: To examine how consistently the CMS and PPR methods identify performance outliers, an…
