In this episode, the third in our health policy series, Dr. McGinn is joined by health services researcher and thought leader Dr. Peter Cram for a wide-ranging discussion on the issue of readmissions as a quality metric, including looking at the complexity of the measure through the lens of:
- Practicing Clinicians
- Department Chairs and CMOs
- Health systems, including research findings and international health system comparisons
Other topics covered include the interplay of length of stay and readmissions and HRRP.
Dr. Cram has published over a hundred peer reviewed papers, many in top tier journals and often challenging many closely held assumptions in the area of health policy.
