Examples of a readmission which is not potentially preventable • No clinical relationship to prior discharge • Cholecystectomy two weeks after hip replacement • Discharge status of prior discharge • AMA and transferred to another acute care hospital • Type of prior discharge • Follow-up care is intrinsically complex and extensive • Metastatic malignancies, Multiple trauma, Burns • Longer interval between discharge and readmission • Long time intervals (>30 days) reduce confidence that readmission is causally linked to the prior discharge
