Risk of Hospital Readmissions and Association With Receipt of Post-Hospitalization Care Coordination Services Among High-Risk Veterans.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To examine associations between receipt of post-hospitalization care coordination and VA-delivered, VA-purchased, and Medicare fee-for-service hospital readmissions among Veterans at high risk for hospitalization and/or mortality.

Study setting and design

In this observational retrospective cohort study, we compared high-risk Veterans who received care coordination within one day after hospital discharge ("treated") with up to five matched high-risk Veterans who did not receive care coordination during this time ("comparators"). Competing risk models estimated adjusted sub-hazard ratios (aSHR) for 30-day all-cause and ambulatory care sensitive condition (ACSC) readmissions between treated and comparators, with death as a competing risk. In sensitivity analyses, we
