چکیده
Department in Antrim experienced a large number of 7-day readmissions, i.e., the number of patients who were discharged from the department and then readmitted from A&E within 7 days of their discharge. Cardiology had the second highest figures within the hospital with 144 of 2780 patients. This number was also high in comparison with national rates, with the readmission percentage close to double the national lower quartile (4.2% vs. 2.2%). In an attempt to identify reasons for potentially avoidable readmissions and suggestions for future improvements a retrospective audit of a sample (86 patients) was undertaken. The audit examined patient demographics, presenting complaints, length of stay, co-morbidities and eventual outcomes.
