Why the study?
Unplanned 30-day readmissions remain frequent despite efforts to improve discharge, and few studies have evaluated nurses' opinions alongside patients' and physicians' views regarding readmission preventability.
Population
276 patients readmitted within 30 days to 4 university hospitals
Comparison
Patients reporting preventable readmissions or undecided vs non-preventable readmissions
Design
Descriptive transversal correlational multicentre study
