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 />
