7. Correlation Between Percentage of Patients Who Do Not Recommend a Hospital and 30-day Mortality for Both Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery and Myocardial Infarction

Pdf Summary

This study examines the correlation between the percentage of patients who do not recommend their hospital (as indicated by HCAHPS surveys) and the 30-day mortality rate for myocardial infarction (MI). The researchers obtained data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on patient perspective of care and 30-day risk standardized mortality rate (RSMR) for MI. They paired this data for each hospital in the US and categorized hospitals into groups based on the percentage of patients who do not recommend their hospital. <br /><br />The study included a total of 1978 hospitals, with an average RSMR for MI of 12.25% and an average percentage of patients not recommending their hospital of 6.14%. The researchers found a positive linear correlation between these two factors, indicating that as the percentage of patients who do not recommend their hospital increases, so does the 30-day RSMR for MI. <br /><br />The authors conclude that improving patients' perspective of care may lead to improvements in the 30-day RSMR for MI. They suggest interventions such as familiarizing patients with medication and lifestyle modifications during hospitalization. The study also discusses the importance of communication between patients and healthcare providers and trust in doctors' decisions in influencing patients' hospital recommendations. <br /><br />The study provides important insights into the relationship between patients' experiences and outcomes for MI. By addressing issues related to patient satisfaction and communication, hospitals may be able to improve patient outcomes for this condition.
