"One of the biggest
predictors of a hospital 30-day readmission is an ED visit during the
next 30 days after an index discharge. ED visits generally have three
outcomes that effect readmissions: first they result in the admission to
inpatient status and the resultant official readmission, second the ED
returns the patient to home or sub-acute care where the patient was
obviously struggling leading to the resultant ED visit, and third the
patient is placed in observation status, which is one of the approaches
hospitals are using to avoid a penalty readmission." Barbara Harvath,
Senior Director, Performance Technologies, The Advisory Board Company

When a Medicare
patient is discharged from a hospital stay for a medical condition in
the United States, there is a 16 percent chance that he or she will be
readmitted for that same condition within 30 days. Another 33 percent
are readmitted within 90 days.
