Reducing Readmissions
Evidence suggest that the rate of avoidable re-hospitalisation CAN be reduced.
Internationally and across Australasia Hospital Funders are increasingly
“paying for outcomes” and penalising health services who have high
readmission rates for selected conditions. A recent systematic review
shows that a median proportion of 27% of readmissions were
potentially avoidable but with a range from 5 to 79%

Reducing unplanned avoidable readmissions is becoming a key Quality
issue and requires a hospital wide strategy improving systems for ALL
patients . Relying on inefficient approaches such as case finding or employing one FTE to reduce readmissions reduces their impact
