The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) automatically calculates readmission data for hospitals using claims data and penalizes hospitals for readmissions that occur within 30 days. Using the Readmission report, you can track readmission rates at your hospital and monitor trends related to readmission improvement activities.

Important: The Readmission report is a supplemental tool to track patients whose index admission and readmission occurred at your hospital. This report does not include patients readmitted to other hospitals and is not intended as an alternative to CMS Hospital Readmission Reduction Program (HRRP) readmission reporting.
