Indicator for whether an unplanned readmission for any cause followed within 30 days from the date of hospital discharge
Comments
Populated only for records with Inpatient_stay=1 or SSP_ADM=1. Equals 1 if beneficiary has unplanned readmission for any cause followed within 30 days from the date of hospital discharge. Does not apply to beneficiaries hospitalized for treatment of cancer or psychiatric disease, discharged against medical advice, transferred to another acute care hospital, or who died during the admission.
