Name

30-Day Readmission Rate After Living Organ Donation

Short/Other Names

Not applicable

Description

The percentage of living organ donors who were urgently readmitted to a hospital within 30 days of discharge from the hospital

Rationale

Urgent readmissions to acute care facilities are increasingly being used to measure institutional or regional quality of care and care coordination.

Readmission rates can be influenced by a variety of factors, including the quality of inpatient and outpatient care, the effectiveness of the care transition and coordination, and the availability and use of effective community-based disease management programs. While not all unplanned readmissions are avoidable, interventions during and after a hospitalization can be effective in reducing readmission rates.

Interpretation

Lower rates are desirable.

Caveats and Limitations

The number of living donors may vary slightly from what is reported by the Canadian Organ Replacement Register (CORR) due to the use of a different data source (HMDB).

The number of living donors may vary slightly from what is reported in other indicators because of the inclusion and exclusion criteria of this indicator, most notably that people with missing health care number are excluded from the denominator.

Comments

Future reporting will use data from the new Canadian Organ Donation and Transplantation Data System (CanODT) once it is available.
