The 10 most common readmission diagnoses for high-, average-, and low-performing hospitals after initial hospitalization for acute myocardial infarction. Numbers are rounded to the nearest percentage. High-performing hospitals have 30-day risk standardized readmission rates lower than the national average rate, with >95% probability. Low-performing hospitals have 30-day risk standardized readmission rates higher than the national average rate, with >95% probability. All remaining hospitals are considered average.
