County-Level Socioeconomic Status Adjustment of Acute Myocardial Infarction Mortality Hospital Performance Measure in the U.S.
The U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS’s) Hospital Compare (HC) data provides a collection of risk-adjusted hospital performance metrics intended to allow comparison of hospital-provided care. However, CMS does not adjust for socioeconomic status (SES) factors, which have been fou...
