Readmission Rates
"Readmission" is when patients who had a recent stay in the hospital go back into hospital again. Rates of readmission can give information about whether a hospital is doing its best to prevent complications, educate patients at discharge, and ensure patients make a smooth transition to their home or another setting such as a nursing home. This data comes from medicare.gov/hospitalcompare.
