Abstract:

The American Hospital Association (AHA) declared a "crisis of confidence" in the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health-care Organizations, which accredits most of the nation's hospitals. The AHA said its 5,000 member hospitals are so frustrated by the Commission's performance that more than ten of its state chapters are considering alternatives. Defections could lead to the Commission's collapse, said Richard Davidson, president of the AHA. The AHA's unusual public criticism comes as the Joint Commission scrambles to revamp its procedures to respond to vast changes under way in the US he

Interdisciplinary hospital ethics committees have been the most common response to the mandates for ethical review procedures set forth by the Joint Commission for the Accreditation of Health Care Organizations (JCAHO, 1995 Standards), the American Hospital Association, and within institutions themselves. A 1989 national survey reported that 60% of hospitals had ethics committees. However, little is still known about the current state of these committees in hospitals, their composition, what functions are performed, or what issues are discussed.

We find some areas of agreement, but also some disagreement, between the two surveys. We conclude that full understanding of the caus

Readmissions are common and costly. This study examines the effectiveness of two initiatives known to help reduce readmissions. Using data from the American Hospital Association, the Census Bureau, and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ Hospital Compare database, we found that a higher quality of hospital care does not reduce, but in fact increases readmission rates. Although health information sharing decreases readmission rates, the effect is statistically significant only among the lowest-quality hospitals, not among mid- and high-quality hospitals.

Abstract:

Under the Hospital-Acquired Condition Reduction Program (HACRP), introduced by the Affordable Care Act, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid must reduce reimbursement by 1% for hospitals that rank among the lowest performing quartile in regard to hospital-acquired conditions (HACs). This study seeks to determine whether Accredited Cancer Program (ACP) hospitals (as defined by the American College of Surgeons) score differently on the HACRP metrics than nonaccredited cancer program hospitals. This study uses data from the 2014 American Hospital Association Annual Survey database, the 2014 Area

Abstract:

Background: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest results in a high mortality rate. The 2015 American Heart Association guideline for post-cardiac arrest was launched and adopted into our institutional policy. Objectives: We aimed to evaluate post-cardiac arrest care and compare the results with the 2015 American Heart Association guideline and clinical outcomes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients. Methods Included in this study were all adult patients who survived out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and were admitted to the Medical Intensive Care Unit of Songklanagarind Hospital, Thailand. The ret

(Obstet Gynecol. 2025;145(2): e74–e82. doi: 10.1097/AOG.0000000000005806) A hospital will need adequate resources and trained individuals in order to provide the best care to pregnant mothers experiencing complex conditions. Maternal risk-appropriate care is the measurement the field uses to discuss whether a hospital is prepared for such medical complexities. Currently, the American Hospital Association Annual Survey classification is used to compare the hospitals and their resources. Due to limited research on the classification system, this study aims to further assess that system for effec

Abstract:

The role of government in the U.S. healthcare system is critical and hospitals play fundamental roles in our communities, among them critical healthcare provider and major employer. The federal funding program Medicare, and the federal-state funding source, Medicaid, are the two public health financing mechanisms that comprise significant funding to hospitals. Further, Medicare and Medicaid account for approximately 37 percent of all health expenditures in the U.S. (United States Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, 2018), and more than 60 percent of all hospital care (American Hospital

Abstract:

Background In New York City (NYC), pneumonia is a leading cause of death and most pneumonia deaths occur in hospitals. Whether the pneumonia death rate in NYC reflects reporting artifact or is associated with factors during pneumonia-associated hospitalization (PAH) is unknown. We aimed to identify hospital-level factors associated with higher than expected in-hospital pneumonia death rates among adults in NYC. Methods Data from January 1, 2010–December 31, 2014 were obtained from the New York Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System and the American Hospital Association Database. In

Abstract:

This study examines artificial intelligence (AI) adoption in US hospitals using three distinct datasets: survey data from the American Hospital Association on AI for operations-related uses (27 percent adopt), employment data from Revelio Labs on workers at hospitals with AI skills (14 percent adopt), and publication data from Dimensions on hospital-affiliated researcher publications (8 percent adopt). Consistent with adoption patterns for the business internet and electronic medical records, AI adoption is higher in metro areas and larger hospitals. In contrast to the business internet, metro

Abstract:

SUMMARYHospital-level predictors of high rates of ‘Clostridium difficile-associated disease’ (CDAD) were evaluated in over 2300 hospitals across California, Arizona, and Minnesota. American Hospital Association data were used to determine hospital characteristics associated with high rates of CDAD. Significant correlations were found between hospital rates of CDAD, common infections and other identified pathogens. Hospitals in urban areas had higher average rates of CDAD; yet, irrespective of geographic location, hospital rates of CDAD were associated with other infections. In addition, hospit
