چکیده
Few situations in clinical medicine are as disheartening to patients, family, healthcare providers, and healthcare systems as readmission to the hospital shortly after discharge. Such events lead to a not-unexpected plethora of questions. From the patient and family: “What went wrong?” From the provider: “What did I do wrong?” From the healthcare system: “How do we prevent this from happening again?” “How much will this cost us?” Whereas the last question is now highly relevant (1,2), its origins are contentious (3).

BACKGROUND Thirty-day readmission after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is common, costly, and linked to poor patient outcomes. Accordingly, facility-level 30-day readmission rates have been considered as a potential quality measure.
