Tyler, Texas-based Christus Mother Frances Hospital had the lowest unplanned readmission rate for coronary artery bypass graft surgery in the U.S. between July 1, 2020, and July 30, 2023, according to CMS data released Oct. 30.
CMS measures unplanned hospital visits by how often patients visited the hospital after coronary artery bypass graft surgery, hip/knee replacement, colonoscopy, chemotherapy and other surgical procedures. Coronary artery bypass graft surgery and hip/knee replacement readmission measures are estimates of unplanned readmission to any acute care hospital within 30 days after discharge. Lower readmission ratios are considered better than higher ratios.
The national rate of readmission for coronary artery bypass graft surgery was 10.7.
