Abstract

IntroductionCongestive heart failure (CHF) is the most costly disease in the US. Readmission costs contribute significantly to this healthcare expenditure. While adherence to published guidelines has increased, readmission rates have not improved. There is an urgent need to identify clinical and process measures that improve care for CHF patients. Thirty day readmission rates have often been used by third party payers as a surrogate index for quality of care in the inpatients settings. This study looked at the relationship between preadmission patient characteristics and 30 day readmissions.
