Abstract

Introduction: Readmission of patients refers to the return of a patient to the hospital after initial discharge, recognized as an indicator of hospital service quality. An increased readmission rate generally suggests a deficiency in care quality or incomplete treatment, potentially leading to increased costs and socioeconomic issues. This study aims to evaluate the impact of care interventions on reducing patient readmissions at Abuzar Children’s Hospital in Ahvaz.Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted at Abuzar Children’s Hospital in Ahvaz from April 2021 to October 2023. Inclusion criteria consisted of discharge and subsequent readmission. Care interventions aimed at reducing readmission rates were implemented from October 2022 to October 2023, with data collected from patient records.Findings: In 2021 and 2022, readmission rates were 0.41% and 0.42%, respectively, with the most common causes being disease relapse and discharge against medical advice. The highest readmission rates were in the neonatal (25.3%) and general (21.1%) departments. Following the interventions, there was a significant decrease (33.33%) in readmissions during the first half of 2023 compared to 2021 and 2022. Additionally, post-surgical infections and cases of discharge against medical advice were reduced.Conclusion: Understanding the factors leading to readmission can help improve healthcare service quality and reduce costs. The findings indicate that regular care interventions can effectively decrease hospital readmission rates and enhance the quality of healthcare services. It is recommended that health-care interventions be tailored to specific age groups for more effective reduction in readmission rates.
