Implication
Multimodal interventions may reduce post-PCI readmissions; leaves open whether randomized evidence confirms benefit.
Structured PICO
Does a multifaceted quality improvement program reduce hospital readmissions in patients after percutaneous coronary intervention?
P
Population
Patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at a large tertiary care facility
I
Intervention
Multifaceted quality improvement program including predischarge risk assessment, discharge checklist, patient education videos, post-discharge follow-up clinic, and computerized emergency department notification system
C
Comparator
Historical control (pre-intervention period, implied by tracking from 2011 to 2015)
O
Outcome
Index hospital readmission ratehard clinical
A multifaceted quality improvement program targeting predischarge, postdischarge, and emergency department triage can substantially reduce hospital readmissions after PCI.
