Risk-Adjustment Options for Readmissions
6
Problem Statement Risk-adjustment for age, gender and
comorbidities to address variation in acuity is accepted methodology and practice.
Despite national discussion, no consensus on which variables and how to adjust for social determinants that influence quality of care outcomes, e.g. readmissions. The Hospital Readmission Reduction
Program penalizes hospitals for readmissions, but does not adjust for social determinants. 7
Exploratory research and perspective published National Quality Forum
Technical report June 2014 Testing 2015-2017
Congress S. 688 & H.R. 1343 - Establishing beneficiary equity in the Hospital
Readmission Program Act of 2015. Would require CMS to adjust for SDS.
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services 2015 Rand report to CMS, CMS call letter and S. 2104 - A bill to amend
title XVIII of the Social Security Act to provide relief to Medicare Advantage plans with a significant number of dually-eligible or low-income subsidy beneficiaries and to prevent the termination of two star plans.

Opportunity
Decrease variation of reported readmission rates among hospitals based on socio-demographic status for the transparency initiative on the consumer website.
Encourage and advance the national policy discussion.
Test and promote a better methodology, consistent with current research.

Cons Ahead of CMS and NQF “Masking disparities” No national consensus yet
on which variables are most appropriate
Rigor of national research still in process
Public messaging
Balancing RiskPros Reduced statistical
variation among hospitals for population characteristics
Current HIDI model promising
“Essential for fair comparison”
Aligns with MHA advocacy and policy agenda
Additive information for the NQF pilot
Advances national policy discussion
Opportunity to introduce other SDS-related quality outcomes
Public messaging
13
Response Themes General agreement
Continues to fulfill the commitment to transparency
More accurate and fair reflection of patient population and performance of health care organizations
Identifies margin for improvement Opportunity to advance policy discussion Opportunity for focused, continued investment
in quality initiatives Hesitation
Hide poor performance or disparities Appearance we are manipulating the numbers Ahead of CMS
