Is higher Medicare spending for an episode of heart failure care associated with better outcomes?
Higher hospital-level 30-day spending on heart failure care was associated with lower patient mortality.
View Abstract
Are publicly reported hospital readmission measures applicable to unreported conditions and other patient populations?
Half of hospitals would have a change in penalty status if it were calculated based on either the Medicare unreported or non-Medicare groups.
View Abstract
The nationwide burden of 30-day readmissions following revascularization for PAD
More than 1 in 6 patients with PAD are readmitted within 30 days after revascularization.

Do hospitals that spend more achieve better outcomes for patients with AMI?
Higher hospital-level 30-day spending on AMI care was associated with modest reductions in patient mortality.
