The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services publicly reports hospital 30-day all-cause risk-standardized mortality rates (RSMRs) and 30-day all-cause risk-standardized readmission rates (RSRRs) for acute myocardial infarction (AMI), heart failure (HF), and pneumonia. The relationship between hospital performance as measured by RSMRs and RSRRs has not been well characterized. We determined the relationship between hospital RSMRs and RSRRs overall, and within subgroups defined by hospital characteristics. We studied Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries discharged with AMI, HF, or pneumonia between July 1, 2005 and June 30, 2008. We quantified the correlation between hospital RSMRs and RSRRs using weighted linear correlation; evaluated correlations in groups defined by hospital characteristics; and determined the proportion of hospitals with better and worse performance on both measures. Hospital 30-day RSMRs and RSRRs. The analyses included 4506 hospitals for AMI; 4767 hospitals for HF; and 4811 hospitals for pneumonia. The mean RSMRs and RSRRs were 16.60% and 19.94% for AMI; 11.17% and 24.56% for HF; and 11.64% and 18.22% for pneumonia. The correlations (95% confidence intervals [CIs]) between RSMRs and RSRRs were 0.03 (95% CI: −0.002, 0.06) for AMI, −0.17 (95% CI: −0.20, −0.14) for HF, and 0.002 (95% CI: −0.03, 0.03) for pneumonia. The results were similar for subgroups defined by hospital characteristics. Although there was a significant negative linear relationship between RSMRs and RSRRs for HF, the shared variance between them was only 2.90% (r2 = 0.029). Our findings do not support concerns that hospitals with lower RSMRs will necessarily have higher RSRRs. The rates are not associated for patients admitted with an AMI or pneumonia and only weakly associated, within a certain range, for patients admitted with HF.
