What are the 5 that indicate poor patient outcomes?
The five indicators that indicate poor patient outcomes are:
1. High readmission rates: A high rate of readmissions within 30 days of discharge can indicate that patients were not adequately prepared for discharge or that they did not receive the necessary follow-up care.
2. Increased length of stay: An unusually long length of stay can indicate that patients are experiencing complications or that their care is not being managed efficiently.
3. High mortality rate: A higher-than-expected mortality rate can indicate that patients are not receiving the appropriate care or that they are experiencing severe illnesses that are not being adequately managed.
4. Low patient satisfaction scores: Low patient satisfaction scores can indicate that patients are not receiving the care they need or that they are experiencing communication issues with their healthcare providers.
5. Increased number of patient complaints: A high number of patient complaints can indicate that patients are experiencing problems with their care or that they are dissatisfied with the services they are receiving.
