This study occurs in two phases. Phase 1 involves initial item development and measurement
validation of a new tool for identifying hospitalized patients at high risk for preventable
readmission. Primary tasks include item construction and content validation, data collection,
analysis, and instrument refinement. Phase 2 involves administering the refined instrument to
a new group of patients to determine final item content for the instrument, its factor
structure, and its predictive validity.

Participants will complete the instrument on an electronic device provided by research staff
in the hospital room. If an individual is unable to complete the instrument, the participant
may have another individual input answers on the electronic device. Hospitalized patients (n
= 1240: 620 in Phase 1 and 620 in Phase 2) with a variety of chronic diseases will be
recruited into the study. Study coordinators will recruit participants with the following
diagnoses: heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, acute myocardial infarction,
coronary artery bypass graft, pneumonia, total knee or hip replacement, and stroke. These
diagnoses were chosen because of the frequency with which patients are readmitted after
discharge.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Primary or secondary admission diagnosis of heart failure, chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease, acute myocardial infarction, coronary artery bypass graft,
pneumonia, total knee or hip replacement, or stroke.

- Age 21 and over

- Able to provide informed consent

- Able to speak and read English

- Able to complete an electronic survey or relay answers to questions to another party
