The Center is using the MPCD to assess the relationship between hospital readmissions and post-discharge patterns of ambulatory care utilization. The project is designed to achieve two major goals: 1) test the ability of the MPCD to enable comparative effectiveness research (CER) on the relationship between post-discharge ambulatory care utilization and hospital readmissions; and 2) provide a baseline of descriptive data that can be used to build rigorous CER models that assess financing and delivery interventions targeting reduction in readmissions.
