Hospital Readmissions and Surgery Reducing readmissions have become policy and clinical priority to improve quality of health care and control cost. Penalized hospitals will assess up to 3% for higher than average readmission rates for medical conditions. Financial penalties have since been expanded for orthopedic procedures. These penalties will likely expand to other surgical procedures in the near future. Fontanarosa PB. JAMA. 2012 Weber SM. Surgery. 2014

Surgical Concerns about ACA Readmissions Differences in surgical vs. medical patients Drivers of readmissions after surgical procedures (complications and multi-morbidity) are different from chronic medical Health conditions (e.g. care coordination, poly pharmacy..etc) Social determinants are not considered (SES, race) Financial penalties will likely strain already vulnerable hospitals (minority-serving, safety net or high-medicaid hospitals) Most readmission reduction interventions are evolving and of questionable benefit Weber et al. Surgery 2014 Neuhausen K. et al. NEJM 2013 Sommers B. et al. Int J Health Serv. 2015

Vulnerable Hospitals and Readmissions in the US MSH were twice as likely to be penalized compared with non-msh for higher readmissions (61% vs. 32%) MSH vs. non-msh readmission penalties are projected to be $112M vs. $41M X2 higher operative mortality rates at MSH Little is known about cancer surgery readmission patterns across vulnerable hospitals in the US Tsai TC Ann Surg 2014 Jha Ak.

Minority Serving Hospitals and Cancer Surgery Readmissions: A Reason for Concern Young Hong, Chaoyi Zheng, Russell C. Langan, Elizabeth Hechenbleikner, Erin C. Hall, Nawar M. Shara, Lynt B. Johnson, Waddah B. Al-Refaie To be presented at 2015 American College of Surgeons

Objectives Minority Serving Hospital (MSH): Hospitals that ranked in the top 25% for the proportion of black and Hispanic patients served Aims: Primary Quantify the impact of Minority Serving Hospitals on readmission rates after major cancer surgery Secondary Identify possible hospital and/or patient factors associated with variations in hospital readmissions

Data Source and Cohort Use of 2 complimentary data sources: 2004 2011 State Inpatient Database of California: Large and racially diverse population Linked to Annual Survey Database of American Hospital Association: Rich in hospital factors Patient selection: 110,857 patients in 355 hospitals in California Operative procedures: Resections of lung, esophageal, gastric, pancreatic, hepatobiliary, rectal, and kidney cancers.

Statistical Methods Minority-Serving Hospital: Top quartile in % of Black/Hispanic patients Covariates: HRRP adjustment: age, sex, comorbidity, procedure type, year Patient factors: race/ethnicity, insurance, income Emergency status Hospital factors: bed size, teaching status, case volume, cancer program, ownership

Statistical Methods Outcome (dependent) variables: 30-day (ACA priority) 90-day and repeated readmissions (clinical relevance) Multivariate analyses: MSH and readmission rates (Hierarchical model with adjustment for case mix) Blockwise regression analyses by sequentially adding patient, procedure and hospital factors Repeated sensitivity analyses using different MSH proportional (top tertile or decile)

Conclusions Vulnerable hospitals experience higher readmission rates after major cancer surgery compared to non-vulnerable hospitals. These findings validate current concerns about unintended consequences of PPACA penalties on financially strained hospitals. Our results have policy implications for amendments of penalties by PPACA to vulnerable hospitals given diminishing reimbursements.

Do Hospital Factors Contribute to Readmissions after Colorectal Procedures? Elizabeth Hechenbleikner, Chaoyi Zheng, Young Hong, Nawar M. Shara, Lynt B. Johnson, Waddah B. Al-Refaie

Objectives Minority Serving Hospital (MSH): Hospitals that ranked in the top decile for the proportion of black and Hispanic patients served (top 10%) Aims: Primary Quantify the impact of Minority Serving Hospitals on readmission rates after colorectal surgery Secondary Identify possible hospital and/or patient factors associated with variations in hospital readmissions
