Small Critical Access Hospitals Have Fewer Post-Surgery Complications
JAMA recently published results from a study comparing rural critical access hospitals (CAHs) to larger urban hospitals. Here are some key findings from the report:
• Mortality within 30 days of a surgery (5.5%) was the same at a critical access hospital as larger hospitals.
• The same surgery costs Medicare $1,400 less at a critical access hospital than at a larger hospital.
• 1 in 4 patients had complications after surgery at large hospitals, while 17.5% did at CAHs.
• 5% of surgery patients at CAHs got transferred to larger hospitals, vs 25% of other patients.
• CAH surgery patients were less likely to use skilled nursing facilities after their operations.
• Patients undergoing surgery at critical access hospitals had lower rates of heart failure (7.7% vs 10.7%).
