Observed HF hospital value variation should not yet change practice; extends phenotype mapping but remains hypothesis-generating.
Observational (n=424)
Yes
Hospitals vary substantially in their joint longitudinal patterns of cost and mortality for heart failure care, highlighting marked differences in the value of care provided.
Xu et al. (2014) conducted an observational in Heart failure (n=424). Phenotyping of 424 hospitals for heart failure care identified five distinct value patterns, with 35.6% of hospitals demonstrating a low cost and low mortality phenotype.
