Excerpt

Failure to rescue is a measure of quality of care of a health care system. Mortality and complication rates for patients are influenced by the severity of illness of the patients. Therefore “risk-adjusted” rates are produced. A hospital tries to justify that it’s higher complication rate is because their patients are sicker. Failure to rescue a patient who gets into trouble is dependent on the hospital characteristics more than the severity of illness of the patients. This is more a measure of the quality of care that the hospital is providing [1]. …
