Narcisse asks about readmission data; Long says it wasn't studied
Narcisse asks whether H&H has data on 30-day readmissions for NYC Care members compared to Medicaid. Long says readmissions weren't studied but offers to check, noting he helped develop the CMS readmission algorithm at Yale.
So I don't know if I'm going to push it if I ask you, do you have the data of the readmission within 30 days from the NOIC care compared to Medicaid?
Do you have that data too?
We did not study hospital readmissions as part of that study.
I can see if we have that.
Readmissions is an algorithm.
In a not interesting way, I was part of the team at Yale to develop the hierarchical logistic regression model that's used by CMS for the readmission algorithm.
And we can see if we could break it down that way.
But in this study, we looked at hospital admissions and chronic disease outcomes.
The reason I'm asking the readmission rate, because I know the compliancy have tied up together.
So I was going to see how we're doing in terms of teaching.
To try to get the people to stay at home and the follow-up with the patient.
Yeah, well, the cornerstone is the primary care follow-up is the key piece.
We know our patients come back to us in primary care.
But that's a good point that we're judged by various different measures, including chronic disease control, hypertension, breast cancer screening.
whether you have a statin, when you have diabetes, and we're constantly looking at these measures across different payers, and what we see is that there is no difference between our NYC care members, our uninsured patients, and our insured patients, which is the
achievement of health equity.
Okay, I'm still going to do that one.
