Avoidable Hospital Readmissions. A169. The Parties recognise that there is variation in the way States currently define Avoidable Hospital Readmissions, presenting challenges to the immediate development of a pricing and funding model.
Avoidable Hospital Readmissions. Avoidable Hospital Readmission means readmission to hospital for a condition or conditions arising from complications of the management of the condition for which the patient was originally admitted. During 2017-2018, IHPA will develop a pricing model to act as a pricing trigger to reduce the incidence of avoidable hospital readmission. This work will be underpinned by the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care (ACSQHC) developing a list of clinical conditions that should be considered avoidable readmissions and appropriate timeframes for avoidable readmission for each of the conditions selected. The developed conditions and definitions will be presented to COAG Health Council in June 2017. No pricing or funding approach to avoidable hospital readmissions will be implemented until after the completion of this program of work by ACSQHC and IHPA this is expected to occur after 1 July 2018.
