- Slope represents the odds ratio per quarter.
- Slope difference was defined by subtracting the slope “after EMR” from the slope “before EMR.”
- The “before EMR” slope includes 8 quarters before EMR adoption and the “after EMR” slope includes 12 quarters after EMR adoption.
- All outcomes were adjusted by patient (gender, age and race) and disease characteristics (DRG weight and comorbidities).
