Understanding Readmissions Data
Hospital Return Transfer Rates
CMS tracks what percentage of Medicare patients experience an unplanned admission to an acute care hospital within 30 days of being discharged from a prior hospital stay to a skilled nursing facility.
Clinical Impact
High hospital readmission rates can indicate inadequate clinical capability within the rehab facility to manage medically complex patients or sudden changes in a patient's condition.
