"While it is easy for clinicians to isolate preventable from non-preventable readmissions, capturing that clinical knowledge in form of mathematical routines isn’t an easy task. This task would be pivotal for these dashboards to be able to make the distinction b/w preventable and non-preventable readmissions. Apart from this, ability to drill down to the causes of readmissions will help businesses take strategy decisions required to reduce preventable readmissions, and at the same time monitor the success of those decisions.”

"...approximately 32% of medical errors are caused due to shortage of physicians' time for the patient's assessment which significantly enhances the chances of misdiagnosis or an adverse event."
