Perspectives of parents and providers on reasons for mental health readmissions: a content analysis study.
This retrospective study is a survey of parents and providers on the reasons for pediatric mental health readmissions. The survey was administered to parents and providers of patients with a 14-day readmission to an inpatient pediatric psychiatry unit between May 2017 and August 2018. The authors had completed survey responses from 89 (64%) of 138 readmission encounters. The top three readmission reasons given by parents were discordant inpatient stay expectations with providers (41%), discharge hesitancy (34%), and treatment plan failure (13%). Among providers, the top reasons were access to inpatient care (30%), treatment adherence (13%), a challenging home (11%) and social environment (11%).
