Association of same-day discharge after elective percutaneous coronary intervention in the United States with costs and outcomes.
The purpose of this study was to examine (1) the incidence and trends in same day discharge (SDD); (2) hospital variation in SDD; (3) the association between SDD and readmissions for bleeding, acute kidney injury (AKI), acute myocardial infarction (AMI), or mortality at 30, 90, and 365 days after PCI; and (4) hospital costs of SDD and its drivers.

Changes in health care costs and mortality associated with transitional care management services after a discharge among Medicare beneficiaries.
Medicare adopted transitional care management (TCM) payment codes in 2013 to encourage clinicians to furnish TCM services after beneficiaries were discharged to the community from medical facilities. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the receipt of TCM services was associated with the subsequent health care costs and mortality of the beneficiaries in the month after the service was provided. The study concluded that despite the apparent benefits of TCM services for Medicare beneficiaries, the use of this service remains low.

Impact of postdischarge follow-up care on Medicare expenditures: does rural make a difference?
Reducing postdischarge Medicare expenditures is a key focus for hospitals. Early follow-up care is an important piece of this focus, but it is unclear whether there are rural-urban differences in the impact of follow-up care on Medicare expenditures. To assess this difference, the study authors used Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey, Cost and Use Files, 2000-2010 to conduct a retrospective analysis of 30-day postdischarge Medicare expenditures using two-stage residual inclusion with a quantile regression, where the receipt of 7-day follow-up care was the main independent variable.
