OBJECTIVE
To evaluate how the accuracy of present-on-admission (POA) reporting affects hospital 30-day acute myocardial infarction (AMI) mortality assessments.
METHODS
A total of 2005 California patient discharge data (PDD) and vital statistics death files.
METHODS
We compared hospital performance
The availability of techniques such as surgical reperfusion, angioplasty, and thrombolysis for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has revived interest in seeking an early detectable biochemical marker diagnostic for AMI. Therefore, we investigated whether an unidentified oxidase that
BACKGROUND
Administrative data are often hampered by coding errors, absent data, and the difficulty of distinguishing pre-existing conditions from perioperative complications. We evaluated whether the introduction of the present on admission (POA) indicator improved outcome analysis of carotid
OBJECTIVE
To test the accuracy of reporting present-on-admission (POA) and to assess whether POA reporting accuracy differs by hospital characteristics.
METHODS
We performed an audit of POA reporting of secondary diagnoses in 1,059 medical records from 48 California hospitals.
METHODS
We used
Predicting payments for particular conditions or populations is essential for research, benchmarking, public reporting, and calculations for population-based programs. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) models often group codes into disease categories, but using single, Importance: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services's (CMS's) 30-day risk-standardized mortality rate (RSMR) and risk-standardized readmission rate (RSRR) models do not adjust for do-not-resuscitate (DNR) status of hospitalized
