Developing Strategies for Predicting and Preventing Readmissions in Vascular Surgery
The escalating cost burden of hospital readmission has prompted recent nationwide efforts aimed at reducing the incidence of this important quality measure. Because patients undergoing vascular surgery account for a significant proportion of readmissions, vascular surgeons may face reduced reimbursements in the near future if these trends continue. However, risk factors associated with
readmission remain poorly defined, and further research is needed to identify interventions that ill prevent readmission following vascular procedures
