Inability of Providers to Predict Unplanned Readmissions

Predicting unplanned hospital readmissions

The number of unplanned readmissions is an important quality improvement indicator for Australian hospitals, as it has a direct impact on costs and patient outcomes. It is a useful indicator for patient multi-morbidity to identify patients that should potentially have different treatment or discharge plans. The objective of the Health Insights Challenge project was to develop a predictive model...

Inability to predict relapse in acute asthma.

Predictive ability of the stability and workload index for transfer score to predict unplanned readmissions after ICU discharge.

OBJECTIVE Unplanned readmission of hospitalized patients to an ICU is associated with an increased mortality and hospital length of stay. The ability to identify patients at risk, who would benefit from prolonged ICU treatment, is limited. The aim of this study is to validate a previously published numerical index named the Stability and Workload Index for Transfer in a heterogeneous group of I...
