There are multiple factors that can contribute to patient readmissions. These include: - Insufficient Discharge Planning: Patients may not receive adequate instructions or resources for managing their condition at home. - Poor Follow-Up Care: Lack of timely follow-up appointments or communication with healthcare providers can result in complications. - Medication Errors: Mismanagement of medications post-discharge can lead to adverse effects or ineffective treatment. - Chronic Conditions: Patients with chronic illnesses are at higher risk of readmission due to the complexity of their care. - Socioeconomic Factors: Limited access to resources, support systems, and healthcare services can also play a role.
