rehospitalization
Back to inpatient
Rehospitalization is admission to a hospital again after a previous stay, typically within a defined period.
Healthcare systems track rehospitalization rates as a measure of care quality—high rates may indicate inadequate treatment or premature discharge.
The patient's rehospitalization within thirty days triggered a review of her case.
