Readmission refers to the process of a patient returning to a hospital or healthcare facility after being discharged. This can occur for various reasons, such as complications from a previous illness, inadequate recovery, or new health issues that arise. Hospitals often track readmission rates to assess the quality of care provided. High readmission rates can indicate potential problems in patient management or discharge planning. To reduce these rates, healthcare providers may implement follow-up care, patient education, and support services. Effective communication between patients and their healthcare team is essential for successful recovery and minimizing the need for readmission.
