* Readmissions due to any cause were reduced more for beneficiaries exposed to the QIN-QIO program compared to beneficiaries in the Non-QIN-QIO group by about 8% (OR = 0.92 [95% CI, 0.88-0.96] p <.0001). No statistically significant differences between groups were observed for readmission rates due to specific drug classes.
