Hospital Readmissions 
Causes
-Pateint facing sudden deterioration
-Nosocomial Infections
-Environmental barriers
-Patient's noncompliance
-Incomplete discharge assessment
-Discharge against medical advice
Definition
The number of patients who undergo unexpected readmission within 30 days of the initial admission (Lagoe et al, 2012).
Effects
Identifying the quality of care provided since it can be a better indicator than mortality to determine the patient case after being discharged (Lagoe et al, 2012).
According to Press et al. (2013), readmissions to the hospitals reflect the quality of care delivered. Therefore, further metric should be taken into consideration. For this purpose, several quantitative and qualitative studies were conducted.
Further Metric :warning:
A Qualitative Study
According to Hoover (2021), Qualitative studies involve collecting and translating non-numerical data using testimonies to answer the question of “why”.
According to Stein et al. (2016), a qualitative study was conducted in the University of North Carolina hospitalist service. The aim of this study was to compare patients and providers point of view on avoiding hospital readmissions and the factors that enhance it.

A Quantitative Study
According to Hoover (2021), quantitative studies involve data collection that are analyzed numerically to build a statistical correlation to answer the questions of “what” or “how”.
According to Lagoe et al. (2012), a quantitative study was conducted in a United States, Syracuse, New York. The aim of this study was to describe the quantitative tools including the classifications, risk assessment, and tracking of patients for reducing hospital readmissions.
