Bouncing back elsewhere: multilevel analysis of return visits to the same or a different hospital after initial emergency department presentation.
In this study, the investigators use a health information exchange network to describe differences between emergency department (ED) visits resulting in 72-hour revisits to the same hospital and those resulting in revisits to a different site. Their analysis describes how ED encounters with early revisits to the same hospital differ from those with revisits to a second hospital.
