Hospital-Specific Readmissions Profiles

This series (updated March 19, 2019) provides in-depth readmissions information for each Massachusetts acute care hospital, highlighting data from State Fiscal Year 2017.

For the first time, this edition includes a series of interactive graphics which enable a deeper look into each hospital’s data, as well as allowing for comparisons between hospitals or at the statewide level. The individual profiles contain analyses for each hospital presented in the context of the statewide figures and of the patient population that each hospital serves. The Hospital-Specific Readmissions databook presents most of the same information in a spreadsheet, facilitating cross-hospital analyses.

Each report contains information profiling readmissions including:

• Overview readmissions statistics
• Risk­ standardized readmission rates by hospital type
• Readmission rates by quarter
• Number of readmissions by time since discharge
• Readmission rates by age
• Readmission rates by payer type
• Readmission rates by discharge setting
• Diagnoses with the highest numbers and rates of readmissions
• Readmissions to other hospitals
• Readmissions among frequently hospitalized patients

Please Note: Following the Yale/CMS readmissions methodology, certain pediatric, cancer, and rehabilitation hospitals are excluded from the calculations.
