Summary
Readmissions to hospital are increasingly being used as an indicator of quality of care. However, this approach is valid only when we know what proportion of readmissions are avoidable. The authors conducted a systematic review of studies that measured the proportion of readmissions deemed avoidable. This study, published in Canadian Medical Association Journal, examined how such readmissions were measured and estimated their prevalence.
