The geographically dispersed Australian population and the mixed public and private provision of specialist services means that re-admission to a non-index hospital can be unavoidable for people with acute myocardial infarction who are initially transferred to specialised facilities. Non-index hospital re-admission is associated with better mortality outcomes for people from regional or remote areas.
