Impact of including readmissions for qualifying events in the Patient Safety Indicators.
April 22, 2015
Davies SM, Saynina O, Baker LC, et al. Am J Med Qual. 2015;30(2):114-8.
The AHRQ Patient Safety Indicators (PSIs) do not include adverse events after hospital discharge, which could introduce bias into measurement of safety events at the individual hospital level. However, this study found that inclusion of postdischarge adverse events in PSI calculations did not significantly change comparisons of safety between hospitals or within the same hospital over time.
