Abstract

Healthcare is a critical activity that consumes a high proportion of the wealth of societies. Governments and healthcare systems around the world are seeking to limit runaway healthcare costs while providing high quality services in ways that balance the competing needs of different groups of people. New technologies are providing opportunities to make healthcare more efficient and effective through better communications and access (e.g., Abraham et al., 2008). The increasing use of mobile devices in hospitals (Kuziemsky et al, 2005) is leading to new types of mobile application (e.g., Agarwal et al., 2007, Bardram and Bossen, 2005, Munoz et al., 2003).

Clinical decision support system and hospital readmission reduction: Evidence from U.S. panel data
Abstract
Using a large-scale panel of U.S. hospitals across health referral regions (HRRs), we empirically examine how a hospital's and its neighboring hospitals' adoption of the Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) (and their meaningful use of CDSS) ...
Highlights
- Adopting a clinical decision support system is associated with a significant reduction in the hospital readmission rates.
- Neighboring hospitals' CDSS adoption in the same HRR also reduces a hospital's readmission rates.
- Such ...
