C. Contribution to Science

The study required an overview of Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ Policies on Readmissions and other value-based purchasing initiatives. This study used Medicare Provider Analysis and Review data linked with the American Hospital Association’s Annual Survey of hospital to analyze the effects of race on odds of 30-day all-cause readmissions. The study revealed that ethnic minorities are at a higher risk for readmissions and consistent with previous studies that had similar results.
