Introduction to Patient Readmission

Following implementation, there was a sustained reduction in AKI patient readmission rates.

Greater home health effort does not appear to have led to lower patient readmissions.

With the rising costs of the Wound care industry, it has become of paramount importance to reduce wound recurrences & patient readmissions.

Partial dependence plots were used to visualize the pattern of predicted patient readmission risk along a range of unit staffing levels, holding all other patient characteristics and hospital and unit structural variables constant.

Primary outcomes were functional assessment scores and unplanned all-cause patient readmission within 30 days following hospital discharge.

The primary endpoint was all-cause observation stay or inpatient readmission within 30 days from discharge.

While readmission for Hirschsprung-related complications is a known concern in these patients, we sought to identify patient-level factors associated with a prolonged hospital stay, increased costs at the time of a pull-through operation, as well as the risk for all-cause inpatient readmission after surgery.

MEASUREMENTS Data on inpatient readmissions (primary outcome) and ED visits for 12 months were obtained for all participants via the regional health information exchange.

Relative to the historical cohort, the ECP trial cohort had statistically significant lower rates of 30-day inpatient readmission (6.

In two trusts there were significant decreases in patient readmissions and length of stay after the introduction of the Diabetes Inpatient Specialist Nurses.

0001), and 30‐day inpatient readmission (p < 0.

Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcome was 30-day patient mortality, and the secondary outcome was 30-day patient readmission.

A multivariable logistic regression was conducted to evaluate if discharge locations impact patient readmissions at 30- and 90-days.

Amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, preventing medication errors is vital to avoid patient readmission, reduce disease complications, and reduce cost and patient burden on the healthcare system.

Specifically, the impact of depression on post-discharge care, including inpatient readmissions, outpatient visits, and use of home health care (HHC), skilled nursing facilities (SNF), and hospice services was examined.

The main purpose of this study was to assess how TOCC follow-up impacted the monthly 30-day patient readmission rate.

More traditional diagnostic-based measures still appear most appropriate if the primary outcome is mortality or inpatient readmissions.

RESULTS We conducted 53 interviews from 20 patient readmissions, including 20 parents, 20 readmitting physicians, 11 discharging physicians, and 3 consulting subspecialists.

Main predictors of both inpatient readmission and outpatient psychotherapy after discharge were the setting of the index-treatment (psychiatry versus psychosomatics) as well as previous and planned forms of care.

The aim of this study was to assess inpatient readmissions during the first three months after discharge from geriatric inpatient care regarding main diagnosis and frequency of readmission.

OBJECTIVES To determine the benefits and safety of exercise training in adult patients who have undergone lung transplantation, measuring the maximal and functional exercise capacity; health-related quality of life; adverse events; patient readmission; pulmonary function; muscular strength; pathological bone fractures; return to normal activities and death.

7%) had 90-day inpatient readmission.

After implementing hotline services in mind and brain service line, a retrospective cohort study was conducted to evaluate the impact of hotline services on patient readmissions, emergency department visits, and overall satisfaction rate.

At last, we are eager to know the exact reasons for patient readmission and reoperation, the incidence of deep mesh infection, as well as the incidence of final mesh removal, since these results would provide paramount information for the further analysis of mesh placement with concomitant bowel procedure.

The extracted rules proved useful to facilitate decision-making and resource preparation to minimise patient readmission.

Patient characteristics, treatments, and monitoring six months prior to and during the inpatient stay, and hyperkalemia recurrence and inpatient readmissions post-discharge were summarized and compared among patients with mild (>5.

Potential financial savings were estimated by using national estimates of the cost of pediatric inpatient readmissions.

The primary outcome is inpatient readmission within 30 days of discharge.

For an emergency department (ED), patient readmissions after ED discharges in a short period are usually considered as an indicator to evaluate the quality of medical services, representing whether the patients had received appropriate treatments.

Although not assessed in this study, rich, person-centred discharge information may also decrease the likelihood of patient readmission.

We found that surgical team familiarity is associated with improved performance for many metrics, including shorter total operative time, team member safety, decreased surgical errors and disruptions, reduced miscommunication, and fewer patient readmissions.

METHODS 2,805 Anatomic and 2,605 reverse total shoulder arthroplasties drawn from two geographically diverse, tertiary health systems were examined for unplanned inpatient readmissions within 90 days following the index surgery (primary outcome).

BACKGROUND This study aims to compare the LACE + readmission index to a novel hepatopancreatobiliary readmission risk score (HRRS) in predicting post-operative hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) cancer patient readmissions.

The proposed methodology can improve the accurate prediction of patient readmission and have the wide applications for CHF.

Aims The aim of this study was to identify pre-discharge risk factors associated with early inpatient readmission in general adult service users, with a particular focus on modifiable factors.

Background Readmissions following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) are common but detailed analysis of cardiac and non-cardiac inpatient readmissions beyond thirty days to different levels of care are limited.

OUTCOME MEASURES Rates of reoperation up to 2 years post-surgery, emergency department (ED) visits up to 6 months post-surgery, inpatient readmission up to 1 year post-surgery, intraoperative blood loss, transfusions, and opiate use at 0-6 months and 6-12 months post-surgery converted to milligram morphine equivalents (MMEs).

Since the passage of the Affordable Care Act in 2010, their responsibilities increased because of the need to prevent patient readmission within 30 days postdischarge (Shah et al.

Inclusion criteria were as follows: 3 or more, 30-day inpatient readmissions in the previous year; or 2 inpatient readmissions plus either a referral or 3 observation admissions in previous 6 months.

The Enterprise group had significantly lower odds of UIA-related inpatient readmissions versus the Neuroform/LVIS group (odds ratio: 0.

Multivariable logistic regression assessed associations between quality measure scores and 1) hospital site, 2) patient demographics, and 3) 30-day emergency department return visits and inpatient readmissions.

Objectives To evaluate the predictive utility of the Activity Measure for Post-Acute Care ‘6-Clicks’ daily activity and basic mobility functional assessment short forms on inpatient discharge to home compared with skilled nursing facilities, including by diagnostic group (trauma injury, major lower joint replacement/reattachment, spinal fusion excluding cervical), as well as assess the effect of the short forms on 30-day inpatient readmissions.

METHODS A systematic search of the Pubmed and Cochrane Library databases was performed with the keywords and medical subject heading (MesH): "muscle, skeletal", "sarcopenia", "prognosis", "duration of stay", "death", "mortality", "patient readmission", "length of stay", "peripheral arterial disease", "intermittent claudication" and "critical limb ischemia".

OBJECTIVES Patient readmission is a costly and preventable burden on healthcare systems.

Aims: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of “outpatient readmissions” on the health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) of outpatients from a rheumatology clinic, meaning the effect of the patient’s return to the outpatient clinic after having received care and been discharged.

Unplanned patient readmission (UPRA) is frequent and costly in healthcare settings.

This study has determined that as many as 60% of burn patient readmissions included in prior studies may be improperly coded planned readmissions.
