LOINC description : Records a readmission to the same hospital within 30 days of discharge following hospitalization
for surgical resection of the primary site for the same illness. This data item provides
information related to the quality-of-care. A patient may have a readmission related
to the primary diagnosis on discharge if the length of stay was too short, and then
needed to return due to problems or complications. A patient may also need to be readmitted
if discharge planning and/or follow-up instructions were ineffective. It is important
to distinguish a planned from an unplanned readmission, since a planned readmission
is not an indicator of quality of care problems... NAACCR Data Standards and Data
