Adjusting for SRFs like dual eligibility for #CMS hospital star ratings is not straightforward - excellent work by @stevenspivack at @YaleCORE showing the complexity https://t.co/tIZup7FvQL

This cohort study found most US hospitals with low-income Medicare patients have higher readmission rates after clinical adjustment and some hospitals have more disparity than others despite controlling for community-level social risks @YaleMed @SMBernheim https://t.co/AAd88Kv5VX

At most US hospitals low-income Medicare pts more likely to be readmitted than pts with higher incomes. Variation even after accounting for clinical, community and state factors - hospitals can do better to close the gap.

Excited to share some recent work! Even after accounting for clinical factors and social risk, we found varying levels of health disparity for low-income patients. #healthequity #healthquality https://t.co/FIf3VuAfu9 @CMSGov @YaleMed
