There is high variability in SNF use among hospitals that is only partially explained by patient characteristics. Hospitals with higher SNF utilization had lower risk-adjusted 1-year mortality and readmission rates for patients discharged to a SNF. More work is needed to better understand underlying provider and hospital-level factors contributing to SNF use variability.
