The rules state that readmission review involves admissions to an acute, general, short-term hospital occurring 
less than 31 calendar days from the date of discharge from the same or another acute, general, short-term 
  
  hospital. Neither the day of discharge nor the day of admission is counted when determining whether a 
readmission has occurred. Obtain the appropriate medical records for the initial admission and readmission. 
Perform case review on both stays. Analyze the cases specifically to determine whether the patient was 
prematurely discharged from the first confinement, thus causing readmission. Perform an analysis of the stay at 
the first hospital to determine the cause(s) and extent of any problem(s) (e.g., incomplete or substandard 
treatment). Consider the information available to the attending physician who discharged the patient from the 
first confinement. Do not base a determination of a premature discharge on information that the physician or 
provider could not have known or events that could not have been anticipated at the time of discharge. Deny 
readmissions if the readmission was medically unnecessary, if the readmission resulted from a premature 
discharge from the same hospital or if the readmission was a result of circumvention of PPS by the same 
hospital. You can find this rule in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Internet Only Manual, 
Publication 100-10, Quality Improvement Organizations Manual, Chapter 4, Section 4240.
