Changes in Readmission for Hip and Knee Replacement Patients Covered by Medicare 2008-2016 (IMAGE)
Caption
Hospital readmissions for patients covered by Medicare who had hip or knee replacement surgery began dropping even before federal penalties for non-surgical patient readmission were announced, and the decline accelerated after that. But the pace of decline has slowed in the years since the penalties for readmission of hip and knee replacement patients were announced.
