For hospitals, potentially preventable readmissions (PPRs) are costly, and high rates of PPRs can signal opportunities to improve quality of care. New findings show that among adults over age 65, Native Hawaiian men, Filipino men, and Other Pacific Islander men and women have higher rates of PPRs than whites, in a fully-adjusted analysis. However, other groups’ PPR rates were not signficiantly different from those of whites, and Chinese women over 65 had lower rates. The researchers, including senior author Deborah A. Taira, ScD, of The Daniel K. Inouye College of Pharmacy, looked at data from the Hawai?i Health Information Corporation on nearly 500,000 hospitalizations in Hawai?i from 2007 to 2012. The use of data from subpopulations is important in detecting policy-relevant differences between subgroups of Asians and Pacific Islanders, the researchers concluded. The report, Thirty-Day Inpatient Readmissions for Asian American and Pacific Islander SubGroups Compared with Whites, is published in Medical Care Research and Review.
