Characterizing LRI readmissions would help guide efforts to prevent them. We assessed variation in pediatric LRI readmission rates, risk factors for readmission, and readmission by: The Pediatric All-Condition Readmission Measure and the Pediatric Lower Respiratory Infection (LRI) Readmission Measure are statistical programs (SAS) that help hospitals organize data and calculate day pediatric Paediatric ward readmission book rates.

Pediatric readmission rates are increasingly used as a quality marker for pediatric hospitals. Yet, there is angst about the appropriateness of using readmission rates for payment given the lack of evidence regarding the potential preventability of these events.1–3 Previous studies have assessed the preventability of pediatric Paediatric ward readmission book through medical record review4,5 and through Cited by: 4.

Pediatric Early Warning Score at PICU discharge and first PEWS on the Pediatric Ward, PICU readmission data, RRT consult data, patient demographics, and chronic and technology-dependent diagnoses were collected based on retrospective review of the electronic health record (Cerner Corporation, Kansas City, MO) by study by: Early unplanned Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) readmission is associated with greater length of stay and mortality.

No tools exist to identify children at risk for PICU readmission. The Pediatric Early Warning Score (PEWS) currently identify children at risk for deterioration on the ward. To determine the prevalence of pediatric readmissions and the magnitude of variation in pediatric readmission rates across hospitals.

Design, Setting, Patients We analyzedadmissions at 72 children's hospitals between 7/1/ and 6/30/ in the National Association of Children's Hospitals and Related Institutions Case Mix dataset. AIMS. To identify risk factors predicting readmission of neonates within 7 days of birth and to implement guidelines to reduce this.

Paediatric emergency and acute care data are therefore primarily collected in two places: the government registers of the HMIS department and paper clinical charts. In U5, the Paediatric Department’s HMIS data clerks assign a unique identifier to each patient and enter them into an HMIS register book.

The study by Wallace et al 16 used chart review by 3 physicians to examine the reasons for and preventability of readmissions to a pediatric hospital medicine service at a large academic medical center.

In the period under study, patients were admitted to the paediatric ward, of who had been readmitted. Thus, the readmission rate was of %, with 1% (n = 50) corresponding to early readmission and % (n = 36) to very early readmission. Based on the established definitions, % of readmissions were late readmissions, % early.

Reducing readmissions after paediatric tonsillectomy introduce one change idea at a time for a small number of children for example in a paediatric ward to test and adapt the change idea to achieve the desired outcomes. and document this information in a log book.
