The measures for unplanned readmission at Creek Nation Community Hospital are estimates of any acute care hospital stay within 30 days from a previous hospitalization discharge. Patients who are admitted to the hospital might experience recurring or other problems soon after they are discharged and need to be readmitted to the hospital. The measures of 30-day unplanned readmission show when patients need to go back to the hospital due to medical conditions like: heart attack (AMI), heart failure (HF), pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), strokes; and surgical procedures, including hip/knee replacement and cornary artery bypass graft (CABG).

Some patients may even die after being readmitted to the hospital. Readmission incidents could often be prevented if hospitals follow best practices for treating patients. Each readmission performance measure is compared to a national benchmark. The readmission rates are calculated by taking into account how sick patients were before they were readmitted to the hospital.

Unplanned Readmissions Rates within 30-Days

Readmission measures evaluate what happened to patients once they left the hospital after receiving care for certain conditions. The readmission rates focus on whether patients were admitted again at the hospital 30 days of being initially discharged. The hospital readmission rates are based on patients with Medicare aged 65 and older.

The readmission rates are calculated using a risk-adjusted approach. The calculations consider how sick patients were when they were initially hospitalized. The readmission rates help make hospital comparisons accurate and meaningful for those hospitals treating treat sicker patients. Lower readmission rates are better.

Mortality Rates within 30-Days

The mortality measures evaluate whether patients died within 30 days after being hospitalized for a specific condition. Mortality rates provide information about important hospital care aspects that affect patients’ outcomes after being hospitalized - healthcare aspects like prevention and response to complications, emphasis on patient safety, and the timeliness of care.

The mortality rates are calculated using a risk-adjusted approach. The calculations consider how sick patients were when they were initially hospitalized. The mortality rates help make hospital comparisons accurate and meaningful for those hospitals treating treat sicker patients. Lower mortality rates are better.
