| Abstract: |
This project evaluates unplanned admissions and readmissions of outpatients or inpatients within 30 days of discharge after an interventional radiology procedure (IR) has taken place. The total number of admissions were compared to the readmissions of patients within 30 days of discharge after an IR procedure has occurred using a retrospective data analysis. The purpose of this research project was to reduce immoderate readmissions in IR by evaluating readmission rates to help improve patient care and to reduce health care expenditures. |
