First-level modeling adjusted 30-day mortality rates for patient age, sex, and clinical characteristics using a logit-link. Second-level modeling included hospital-level random intercepts assumed to be normally distributed in order to account for the clustering (non-independence) of patients within the same hospital, permitting separation of within-hospital and between-hospital variation after adjusting for patient characteristics. RSMR = Risk-Standardized Mortality Rate; RSRR = Risk-Standardized Readmission Rate; PTCA = Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty; CABG = Coronary Artery Bypass Graft; CC = Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service (CMS) Condition Category; GI = Gastrointestinal. 14
15 * Peripheral vascular disease CMS condition categories for mortality measures included CCs 104 and 105, readmission measures included CCs Metastatic cancer CMS condition categories for mortality measures included CCs 7 and 8, readmission measures included CCs 7-12, except for the pneumonia readmission measure which included CCs Chronic liver disease CMS condition categories for mortality measures included CCs 25-27, the heart failure readmission measure included CCs
