Background: Patients spend about 95% of their hospitalization in bed, increasing the risk of functional decline associated with adverse events and readmissions. Some hospitals track patients’ functional mobility trends using Activity Measure for Post-Acute Care 6-Clicks Inpatient Short Form (AM-PAC). We aim to understand the associations between functional mobility loss from hospital admission to discharge, […]

Background: Over 160,000 PEG placement procedures are performed each year in the US and 8.1% of all long-term care residents receive feeding via PEG tube. The objective of the study was to explore reasons for hospital re-admissions of long-term care residents with a PEG-tube. Methods: A one-year retrospective study of long-term care PEG-fed residents over […]

Background: For patients at increased risk of hospitalization, reducing hospitalization is often a key objective and can have important effects on health care costs. The Comprehensive Care Physician (CCP) model was developed originally at the University of Chicago to reintegrate inpatient and outpatient care under the same physician for patients at high risk of hospitalization […]

Background: Cost-related medication non-adherence (CRN) is a persistent and serious challenge among the elderly population in the US. For elderly patients with limited economic means at increased risk of hospitalization, CRN may elevate the risk of repeated hospitalizations and emergency department visits, and lead patients into a downward spiral of worse heath and higher non-adherence. […]

Background: Cardiac readmissions are an ever expanding burden spanning from patients, to hospitals, all the way up to the national healthcare system. Currently, there is a lack of consensus regarding appropriate inpatient screening tests for identifying patients at high risk for readmission, as well as peri-hospitalization disease management regimens aiming to prevent readmissions. Our clinical […]

Background: Chronic diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, are the leading causes of disability and death in New York State (NYS) and throughout the United States. County Health Rankings (CHR) is a program assessing the nation’s health on a county-by-county basis to provide a summary z-score for each county and determine county health […]

Background: Palliative care in seriously ill patients has been shown in some studies to improve satisfaction, symptoms, inpatient mortality rates, healthcare utilization and cost. While inpatient palliative care has been shown to improve symptoms and quality of life measures, the literature on its association with 30-day readmissions have been mixed for heart failure hospitalizations. We […]

Background: Acute heart failure (AHF) hospitalization is about one million hospital admissions per year and has tripled in the last 30 years in the United States. These illustrate the importance of recognizing early signs of AHF. Therefore, risk stratification can aid physicians in selecting appropriate evidence-based medical therapies. Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is […]

Background: The economic burden of illness for patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) with suicidal ideation (SI) and suicide attempt (SA) can be attributed to the intensive level of care required, as these patients are frequently evaluated in the emergency department (ED) and admitted to the hospital. This study evaluated this burden of hospitalized patients […]

Hospital Medicine 2019, March 24-27, National Harbor, Md.
Background: Patients hospitalized for major depressive disorder (MDD) with suicidal ideation (SI) or suicide attempt (SA) may have a high risk for hospital readmission. This study evaluated readmission/subsequent emergency department (ED) visit rates and the associated healthcare resource use and costs among patients who were hospitalized for MDD with SI or SA (SI/SA). Methods: Patients […]
