Overview of recent work  Develops regression-based adjustment model  Converts current approach to use regression-based approach  APR-DRG SOI fixed effects model  Assesses model fit and predictive properties  Tests whether simpler model yields similar results  Reduces the number of variables needed in the model  Tests impacts of adding covariates to the model  Impacts on model fit  Impacts on hospital rates, and improvement from CY2013 to CY2015  Covariates tested:  Age  Gender  Elixhauser co-morbidities  Primary payer  ADI 10 10

Converting Current Approach  Indirect standardization  Calculate statewide readmission norms for each APR-DRG SOI category  Calculate hospital-level predicted readmission, based on relative frequency of APR-DRG SOI categories  Fixed effects regression  Mathematically, yields identical number of predicted readmissions  Stay-level regression  Dependent variable: 0/1 indicator for 30-day readmission  Independent variables: 0/1 indicator for each of the ~1100 APR-DRG SOI categories  Pros:  Facilitates assessment of explanatory power and predictive ability  Easy to measure impact of additional covariates  Con:  Computationally intensive 11 11

Alternate Models  “Norms” – based regression  Replace APR-DRG SOI indicators with CY 2013 norms (single variable) Proxy for a readmission-based APR-DRG weight  Log-transformation improves model fit   Test impact of additional covariates  Patient age and gender  Elixhauser co-morbidities 31 indictors for various conditions  Calculated based on information from the index stay   Primary payer Medicare FFS  Medicare Managed Care  Medicaid  Commercial  Self pay  Other   ADI Indicators for each of the 20 quantiles of the ADI distribution  12 12

Data and Methods  Data:  CY 2013 and CY 2015 inpatient data  Methods:  Regressions  Estimate logistic model on CY 2013 stays  Calculate predicted probability of readmission for both CY 2013 and CY 2015 stays CY 2015 predicted values are benchmarked to CY 2013, similar to current approach   Measure R-square and c-statistic R-square: how much variation is explained by the model?  C- statistic: how well does model predict readmission?   Hospital-level rates  Calculate sum of predicted probabilities for each hospital  Calculate O/E ratio (where E = sum of predicted probabilities)  O/E x State Rate in CY 2013 = risk-adjusted rate  Calculate percent improvement between CY 2013 and CY 2015 for each hospital 13 13
