Hospital Characteristics Associated With Heterogeneity in Institutional Postacute Care Spending Reductions Under the Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement Model.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Prior research concluded that institutional postacute care spending decreased under the Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CJR) model. Less is known about how changes in institutional postacute care spending varied across different types of hospitals.

Objective

To measure hospital-level heterogeneity in the association of the CJR model with changes in institutional postacute care spending and to identify hospital characteristics associated with this variation.

Design setting and participants

Using 100% Medicare claims data, this cross-sectional study assessed institutional postacute care spending from 2016 to 2017 among US hospitals randomly selected to participate in the CJR model and control group hospitals that were eligible but not selected for t
