Hospital Compare readmission and death rates provide information for the public that is based on how each hospital performs in terms of readmitting patients following discharge, and the number of deaths that occurred in hospital and post discharge, in comparison to the national rate of readmission (given how sick patients were when they were first admitted to the hospital). This information can be useful as low readmission and death rates can suggest that the care provided was effective. The information also enables you to see whether a hospitals care quality is better, the same, or worse than the national average.
