Figure 3

Hospital predicted-to-expected ratios based on “CMS all-cause” vs. “CMS modified-for-preventability” methods

NOTES:

CMS= Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services

CMS= Predicted-to-expected ratio based on CMS all-cause readmission model

CMS-P= Predicted-to-expected ratio based on CMS modified-for-preventability readmission model

AMI=Acute myocardial infarction

HF=Heart failure

PNA=Pneumonia

Figures are generated based on FY08-10 VA acute hospitalizations.

Bubble size is proportional to number of index admissions; only hospitals with >25 index admissions are included (n=104 for AMI, n=130 for HF, and n=131 for PNA)

Lines at 1 indicate the threshold for excess readmissions.
