Abstract
Background: The objective of this systematic review is to summarize and assess the risk factors associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) readmission following the enactment of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ Hospital Readmission Reduction Program in 2015. Before the enactment of the Act, addressing the rising rate of COPD-related readmission was a quality improvement effort. However, the Act allowed for the creation of financial penalties to incentivize these improvements and set the reduction of readmission as a priority.
