In this study we aimed, by determining the existence of inter-hospital differences in AMI-CFR, (1) to evaluate to which extent Belgian discharge records allow the assessment of quality of care in the field of AMI, and (2) to identify starting points for quality improvement.
More precisely we aimed, by determining the existence of inter-hospital differences in AMI-CFR, (1) to evaluate to which extent Belgian discharge records allow the assessment of quality of care in the field of AMI, and (2) to identify starting points for quality improvement.
If HSMRs and particularly SMRs on diagnostic level are used by hospitals as a starting point for quality improvement [ 2] - a better idea for usage of the HSMR indicator - then adjustment for readmission will be necessary as well, in order to prevent misleading signals to be generated.
