Florida had the 4th highest volume of Medicare inpatient discharges in the nation, accounting for 7.56% of the total between October 2015 and September 2016.  Using Dexur’s data, we were able to determine not only the total number of Medicare inpatient discharges, but also the total Medicare inpatient payments, total percentage of revenue contributed from 30 day readmissions, and the percentage of total days from length of stay (LOS) that comes from 30 day readmissions.  You can read about a general scope of 30 day readmission contribution to revenue and percentage of days from length of stay contributing to 30 day readmissions, as well as how this data is calculated here.  

According to Dexur’s data, the three leading hospitals in Florida for Medicare inpatient discharges between October 2015 and September 2016 were Florida Hospital, Orlando, Baptist Medical Center, Jacksonville and Sarasota Memorial Hospital. Looking at the table below, we were able to analyze the percentage of revenue contributed from 30 day readmissions of Medicare inpatients. We were also able to review the percentage of days from from length of stay (LOS) contributing to 30 day admissions at a national, state and individual hospital level.
