Abstract
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act1 created the hospital readmission reduction program to reduce readmissions and improve patient transitions from acute care. Research examining 30-day readmission has focused on patients discharged from acute care hospitals.2,3 Patients discharged to postacute care institutional settings have been excluded from previous research on hospital readmission.3-6 Little research on hospital readmission has been reported for patients receiving postacute services.Keywords
