# URSA-PHF | Hospital Inpatient Readmission Metrics

## Overview

This report contains measures and pre-built boards for assessing hospital inpatient readmissions. In addition to providing an introduction to industry standard configurations of a 30-day all cause readmission measure this report also provides variants of that measure and some intermediate process analytics on timely follow up which are commonly used to reduce readmissions.

## Use this report to

- Refresh your understanding of industry standard conventions in the measure configuration for 30-day all cause readmissions.
- Analyze readmission rates across types of admissions and different patient populations.
- Identify the driving factors for readmissions and whether or not the readmissions is related to the index admission.
- Monitor performance over time across providers for timely follow up primary care visits following hospital inpatient admissions.

## Potential takeaways

- What is my 30 day readmission rates across types of admissions (medical/surgical/behavioral/maternity)?
- What are the drivers of readmissions and could additional post-acute services (such as home health) prevented the readmission?
- What percent of readmissions are directly related to the index admission versus unrelated?
- How do readmission rates change when we look beyond 30 days (applicable for full risk groups)?
- Which facilities should we partner with more closely to facilitate better transitions of care?
- Which PCPs are our top/worst performers for timely follow up following an admission?
- Where is there variation across my providers, practices, chronic condition cohorts, and SDoH cohorts that may indicate a need for additional resources?
