Abstract

The article discusses a study on the use of hierarchical regression models in assessing the rates of risk-standardized mortality and readmission of patients with heart failure in hospitals identified in the "America's Best Hospitals" ranking by the periodical "U.S. News & World Report" and in those non-ranked facilities. The study noted there was a reduced mean rate of in-hospital mortality in ranked hospitals, compared to non-ranked ones. It is said that ranked hospitals have not shown enough evidence of superiority for readmission.
