Difference-in-differences estimates of associations between implementation of the Transitions Program and 30 day post-discharge outcomes by cohort
| 30 day outcome | Adjusted odds ratio (95% CI) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| All admissions | Inpatient only | HEDIS regulatory definition only | High risk only* | |
| Non-elective readmission | 0.91 (0.89 to 0.93) | 0.89 (0.87 to 0.91) | 0.90 (0.87 to 0.92) | 0.97 (0.89 to 1.06) |
| Post-discharge mortality | 1.00 (0.95 to 1.04) | 0.99 (0.95 to 1.04) | NA† | 0.96 (0.88 to 1.05) |
| Out-of-hospital mortality | 1.02 (0.97 to 1.06) | 1.01 (0.96 to 1.06) | NA† | 1.00 (0.91 to 1.10) |
HEDIS=Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set; NA=not applicable.
Patients with ≥45% predicted risk of composite outcome.
Excludes patients with <30 days of follow-up, and hence also excludes patients who died in this period.
