Government targets for hospital stays and high bed occupancy are causing patients to be sent home earlier than might be best for their condition. Result: hospital stats look good, but patients are having to be re-admitted to ensure that they have the right amount of time to recover properly.
Re-admissions have risen nearly 30% 2006 last quarter, compared to 2005 last quarter.
Still, the occupancy stats look good....
