Two Michigan hospitals had the highest excess readmission ratios for heart attack patients in the U.S. between July 1, 2019, and June 30, 2022, according to CMS data released July 31.
CMS calculates hospital excess readmission ratios for 30-day unplanned readmissions of patients experiencing acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, elective primary total hip and/or total knee arthroplasty and coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
An excess readmission ratio is based on a hospital’s predicted readmission performance and the expected readmission ratios of hospitals with similar patient mixes.
