Clinically Related definition

Clinically Related means that the underlying reason for readmission is plausibly related to the care rendered during a prior hospital admission. A clinically-related readmission results from the process of care and treatment provided during the prior admission (e.g., readmission for a surgical wound infection) or from a lack of post-admission follow up (e.g., lack of follow-up care arrangements with a primary physician) rather than from unrelated events that occurred after the prior admission (such as a broken leg due to trauma) within a specified readmission time interval.
