Qualified candidates Democratic I'm sure I'm missing some details, so if you have any other concrete information on a candidate's platform, please share in the comments.

The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute funded the study.I just spent hours reading about every candidate on the ballot and thought maybe sharing notes might help.

Other authors on the study included Sharon-Lise T. "We hope the study will inform choices about how we measure quality so that we will be using the best tools for building a higher-quality system," she said. "We should assess all patients for a standard time period, such as 30 days."ĭrye said the findings have implications for any study that compares hospitals using patient outcomes to judge quality. "To assess current and future patient management strategies," said Drye. The team also found that measures looking only at deaths in the hospital favor hospitals that keep their patients for a shorter length of time. hospitals looked quite different using the two different accounting methods. "Because some hospitals keep their patients for less time than others due to patient transfers to other facilities or because they send patients home more quickly."ĭrye and her colleagues found that quality at many U.S. "We were concerned that only counting deaths during the initial hospitalization can be misleading," said Drye. For these conditions, one-third to one-half of deaths within 30 days occur after the patient leaves the hospital, but this proportion often varies by hospital. One approach uses mortality rates of patients who die during their initial hospitalization, and the other uses rates of patients who die within 30 days, whether or not they have been discharged.ĭrye and colleagues focused on mortality rates for patients with heart attack, heart failure, and pneumonia.

The study compared two widely used approaches to assessing hospital quality.
