DOI: 10.1001/jamacardio.2016.3704

Abstract: Importance US hospitals receive financial penalties for excess risk–standardized 30-day readmissions and mortality in Medicare patients. Under current policy, readmission prevention is incentivized over 10-fold more than mortality reduction. Objective To determine how penalties for… read more here.
