Post Hospital Discharge Events

**Overview**
This data package shows the post-discharge re-admission and care after patients leave the hospital for an acute or chronic illness. This data package helps to look at how communities and hospitals effectively coordinate care for some of the sickest patients and those with hospital discharges after a stay to treat acute or chronic illness.

**Description**
This data package contains information on patient hospital discharges as the discharge of patients from the hospital is a complex process that is fraught with challenges and involves over 35 million hospital discharges annually in the United States. The cost of unplanned readmissions is 15 to 20 billion dollars annually. Preventing avoidable readmissions has the potential to profoundly improve both the quality of life for patients and the financial wellbeing of health care systems.
The Dartmouth Atlas report reveals striking variation in 30-day readmission rates across hospital referral regions and academic medical centers. Little progress was seen in reducing readmission rates over the five-year period 2004 to 2009. In fact, for some conditions, readmission rates have increased for the nation and for many regions and hospitals.

**Benefits**
- Useful data package for physicians as it has discharge details of patients from different type of chronic illness by state, region, and county.
