High readmission rates for the same condition may mean that patients are discharged too soon. This measure counts patients readmitted within 7 days of discharge for the same problem (except chemotherapy patients). Children's performance is similar to its peers on this outcome.
This measure uses data from the Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS). PHIS is a comprehensive comparative pediatric database of 42 children's hospitals that evaluates clinical and financial details of more than six million patient cases.
This measure is updated quarterly.
