Average Readmission Rates and Condition-Specific Readmission Rates
Readmission rates are critical for hospitals and ACOs as they work to improve patient outcomes and reduce unnecessary healthcare costs through better care coordination and patient education. In this article, we provide critical readmission data about average readmission rates, condition-specific readmission rates, and hospitals with high and low readmission rates.
High readmission rates can be indicative of poor care coordination, inadequate discharge planning, or the presence of chronic health conditions that are not being managed effectively. Conversely, low readmission rates are often associated with better patient outcomes and more effective healthcare delivery.
These rates are critical in identifying areas where healthcare systems can improve and are often used in conjunction with other performance metrics to guide healthcare policies and practices.
