Unplanned readmissions are associated with worse patient outcomes. Most factors associated with an increased risk of readmission are patient and admission-specific. System related risk factors include discharge at night and ICU occupancy at the time of discharge. Readmission may reflect premature transfer out of ICU due to errors in clinical judgment or system constraints. | Unplanned readmissions are associated with worse patient outcomes.

Number of ICU readmission within 72 hours per 100 discharges to ward | Readmission means the patient left/discharged out of ICU to '''elsewhere''' and came back to ICU in the same or different facility from '''elsewhere'''. Readmission count is accounted to the unit discharging the patient the first time and not to the unit admitting the patient the second time. | ||
* Definition1 : Number of ICU readmission within 72 hours per 100 discharges to any ward | |||
* Definition2 : Number of ICU readmission within 72 hours per 100 discharges to any ward, home or elsewhere | |||
===Numerator=== | ===Numerator=== | ||
* Num1 = Number of ICU patients discharged to any ward and readmitted to any ICU within 72 hours coming from elsewhere | |||
* Num2 = Number of ICU patients discharged to any ward, home or elsewhere and readmitted to any ICU within 72 hours coming from elsewhere | |||
===Denominator=== | ===Denominator=== | ||
* Denom1 =Total Number of discharges who went to any ward | |||
* Denom2 =Total Number of discharges who went to any ward, home or elsewhere | |||
===Formula=== | ===Formula=== | ||
Readmission Rate(%) = Num / Denom * 100 | Readmission Rate(%) = Num / Denom * 100 | ||
