Journal ArticleDOI
Patterns of Hospital Performance in Acute Myocardial Infarction and Heart Failure 30-Day Mortality and Readmission
Harlan M. Krumholz,Angela Merrill,Eric M. Schone,Geoffrey C. Schreiner,Jersey Chen,Elizabeth H. Bradley,Yun Wang,Yongfei Wang,Zhenqiu Lin,Barry M. Straube,Michael T. Rapp,Sharon-Lise T. Normand,Elizabeth E. Drye +12 more
TL;DR: In a recent 3-year period, 30-day risk-standardized mortality rates for AMI and HF varied among hospitals and across the country, and the readmission rates were particularly high.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Administrative Claims Measure Suitable for Profiling Hospital Performance Based on 30-Day All-Cause Readmission Rates Among Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction
Harlan M. Krumholz,Zhenqiu Lin,Elizabeth E. Drye,Mayur M. Desai,Lein F. Han,Michael T. Rapp,Jennifer A. Mattera,Sharon-Lise T. Normand +7 more
TL;DR: A claims-based model of hospital risk-standardized readmission rates for patients with acute myocardial infarction produces estimates that are excellent surrogates for those produced from a medical record model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduction in Acute Myocardial Infarction Mortality in the United States: Risk-Standardized Mortality Rates From 1995-2006
Harlan M. Krumholz,Yun Wang,Jersey Chen,Elizabeth E. Drye,John A. Spertus,Joseph S. Ross,Jeptha P. Curtis,Brahmajee K. Nallamothu,Judith H. Lichtman,Edward P. Havranek,Frederick A. Masoudi,Martha J. Radford,Lein F. Han,Michael T. Rapp,Barry M. Straube,Sharon-Lise T. Normand +15 more
TL;DR: Between 1995 and 2006, the risk-standardized hospital mortality rate for Medicare patients discharged with AMI showed a significant decrease, as did between-hospital variation.
Journal ArticleDOI
National Patterns of Risk-Standardized Mortality and Readmission for Acute Myocardial Infarction and Heart Failure Update on Publicly Reported Outcomes Measures Based on the 2010 Release
Susannah M. Bernheim,Jacqueline N. Grady,Zhenqiu Lin,Yun Wang,Yongfei Wang,Shantal V. Savage,Kanchana Bhat,Joseph S. Ross,Mayur M. Desai,Angela Merrill,Lein F. Han,Michael T. Rapp,Elizabeth E. Drye,Sharon-Lise T. Normand,Harlan M. Krumholz +14 more
TL;DR: High RSRs persist for AMI and HF and clinically meaningful variation exists for RSMRs and RSRRs for both conditions and the results suggest continued opportunities for improvement in patient outcomes for HF and AMI.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provided a national perspective on hospital performance for 30-day risk-standardized mortality rates and riskstandardized readmission rates for patients hospitalized with acute myocardial infarction and heart failure.
