Abstract 186: Improving Identification and Assessment of Readmission Risk for Acute Myocardial Infarction and Heart Failure Patients Following Implementation of a National Quality Improvement Program [Session Title: Poster Session AM]

Conclusions: Implementation of a quality improvement campaign focused on care transition can substantially improve prospective identification of AMI and HF patients and assessment of their readmission risk. It remains to be determined whether process improvement lead to reduction in 30-day readmission and/or improvement in other clinically important outcome measures.
