Determining readmission time window using mixture of generalised Erlang distribution
Demir, Eren; Chaussalet, Thierry J.; Xie, Haifeng (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2007-06-25)The absence of a unified definition of readmissions has motivated the development of a modelling approach, to systematically tackle the issue surrounding the appropriate choice of a time window which defines readmission. ... -
Emergency readmission criterion : a technique for determining the emergency readmission time window
Demir, Eren; Chaussalet, Thierry J; Xie, Haifeng; Millard, Peter H (2008)A frequently chosen time window in defining readmission is 28 days after discharge. Yet in the literature, shorter and longer periods such as 14 days or 90-180 days have also been suggested. In this paper, we develop a ... -
A method for determining an emergency readmission time window for better patient management
Demir, Eren; Chaussalet, Thierry J.; Xie, Haifeng; Millard, Peter H. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2006)This paper introduces a modelling approach to determining the appropriate width of a time window within which an admission is classified as a readmission. The approach is based on an intuitive idea that patients, who are ...
