The article focuses on an observational study which estimated hospital-level 30-day risk-standardized mortality rates (RSMRs) for patients discharged with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Administrative data and a validated risk model were used to evaluate 3,195,672 discharges in 2,755,370 patients discharged from nonfederal acute care hospitals in the U.S. between January 1, 1995 to December 31, 2006. A significant decrease was observed in the risk-standardized hospital mortality rate for Medicare patients discharged with AMI, as well as between-hospital variation.
