چکیده
PurPose: Unanticipated postoperative readmission will be a quality-directed metric linked to CMS reimbursement. In an effort to both optimize patient care and prevent negative financial implications, we have identified patient risk factors that contribute to unanticipated postoperative readmissions for plastic surgery patients. Building on this knowledge, the aim of this curret study is to create a risk index calculator to quantifiably predict the likelihood of 60-day postoperative readmissions.

متن کاملPatients undergoing total laryngectomy: an at-risk population for 30-day unplanned readmission.
IMPORTANCE Patients undergoing total laryngectomy are at high risk for hospital readmission. Hospital readmissions are increasingly scrutinized because they are used as a metric of quality care and are subject to financial penalties. OBJECTIVE To determine the rate of, reasons for, and risk factors that predict 30-day unplanned readmission for patients undergoing total laryngectomy. DESIGN,...
متن کاملEarly Discharge Planning and Improved Care Transitions: Pre-Admission Assessment for Readmission Risk in an Elective Orthopedic and Cardiovascular Surgical Population
BACKGROUND/METHODS Readmission prevention is a marker of patient care quality and requires comprehensive, early discharge planning for safe hospital transitions. Effectively performed, this process supports patient satisfaction, efficient resource utilization, and care integration. This study developed/tested the utility of a predictive early discharge risk assessment with 366 elective orthoped...
متن کاملHospital variation in readmission after coronary artery bypass surgery in California.
BACKGROUND Readmissions are common after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery and account for a significant percentage of hospital healthcare costs. Readmission rates also vary widely between hospitals, but the reasons for this variation have not been studied previously. METHODS AND RESULTS We linked 2009 California CABG clinical registry data to hospital discharge data for 2009 and...
