Preventing emergency readmissions to hospital: A scoping review (RAND, Jan 2012)
- A review of the evidence and potential for use of 'emergency readmissions within 28 days of discharge from hospital' as an indicator within the NHS Outcomes Framework. The review suggests that between 5 percent and 59 percent of emergency readmissions may be avoidable, with a level of 15 percent up to 20 percent considered reasonable.
