Trends in 30-day readmission rates for medicare and non-medicare patients in the era of the Affordable Care Act

American Journal of Medicine Jul 25, 2018

Angraal S, et al. - Researchers evaluated trends in all-cause readmission rates for one of the 3 Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP) conditions (acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, pneumonia) or conditions not targeted by HRRP in 6 age-insurance groups defined by age-groups (≥65 or <65 years) and payer (Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance) using Nationwide Readmissions Database (2010-2015). A significant decline was found in readmission rates across patient age-insurance groups for the 3 target conditions under the HRRP. In addition, there was a decline in readmission rates for non-target conditions. A systematic improvement in readmission rates were also found for patient groups beyond the population of fee-for-service, older, Medicare beneficiaries included in the HRRP.
