Seven-day Services Indicators: Emergency Readmissions within 7 days of Discharge

Statistics about emergency readmissions by day of discharge.

In July 2015 the Secretary of State for Health, Jeremy Hunt, delivered a speech ‘Making healthcare more human-centred and not system-centred’ (link provided below). In this speech, he outlined his commitment to seven-day care and highlighted variation in outcomes associated with weekend hospitalisation.

The experimental statistics presented in this report are being published to provide a starting point for discussions on how we can effectively measure both improvement and variation in care provision across the week.

本报告所呈现的实验性统计数据旨在提供讨论的起点，探讨我们如何有效衡量一周内医疗护理提供在改善与变化方面的表现。2015年7月，卫生大臣杰里米·亨特在《使医疗保健更加以人为本而非以系统为本》的演讲中（链接见下文）阐述了其对七日医疗服务承诺，并指出了与周末住院相关的结果差异。
