Name:Patient Readmission Application
Description:Frequent patient readmissions have a significant organisational consequence. This has enabled healthcare commissioners in England to use emergency readmission as an indicator in the performance rating framework, where hospitals are rated based on their levels of readmission. The Patient Readmission Application is a statistical model developed in R, where individual hospitals propensities for first readmission, second readmission, third (and so on) are considered to be measures of performance.
The application was ported within the framework of the FP7 EDGeS project.
