Concern with Risk Adjustment<br />
• Risk adjustment is critical when comparing outcomes<br />
across hospitals to ensure adequate and fair<br />
comparisons<br />
• Current risk-adjustment methodology for 30-day<br />
readmissions adjusts for age, gender and a set of comorbidities<br />
for clinical risk (HCCs)<br />
• The risk adjustment does not address socio-economic<br />
status (SES)<br />
• AAMC conducted research to determine if AMCs were<br />
disproportionately impacted by the current riskadjustment<br />
and evaluate alternate approaches<br />
