Sarasota (Fla.) Memorial Hospital and Tyler, Texas-based Christus Mother Frances Hospital had the lowest readmission ratio for coronary artery bypass graft surgery between July 1, 2021, and June 30, 2024, according to CMS data published May 13.
As part of its hospital readmissions reduction program, CMS measures excess readmissions for heart attack, heart failure, pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hip/knee replacement and coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
Ratios are calculated by dividing a hospital’s predicted rate of readmissions with the expected rate of readmissions, based on the average rate of hospitals with similar patient populations.
Here are the hospitals with the highest, lowest excess readmission ratios for coronary artery bypass graft surgery:
