Hospital-Wide Readmission

The hospital-wide readmission measure includes Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) beneficiaries aged 65 or older and assesses the occurrence of unplanned readmission from any cause within 30 days after the date of discharge from hospitalization for any condition or procedure performed in the hospital. CMS began publicly reporting the hospital-wide readmission measure in 2013.

Hospital-wide readmission measure results are updated annually. As part of ongoing measure surveillance, analyses that provide a comprehensive overview of national performance on the measure or investigate select hospital practices that may impact hospital performance are conducted.
