This study examines the association between a hospitals~ psychiatric inpatient volume and 30-day readmission rates. METHODS: Using administrative data from Taiwan~s National Health Insurance Research Database for 2003, the likelihood of 30-day readmission is examined relative to the hospital~s volume of voluntary psychiatric admissions and total bed-days. RESULTS: As hospital volume increases, so too does the 30-day readmission rates for patients with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and major depressive disorders. CONCLUSIONS: The positive volume-outcome relationship in patients suffering from psychiatric disorders suggests a different scenario from the ~practice makes perfect~ phenomenon that may underlie the inverse volume-outcome relationship found among most physical disorders, both surgical and medical. ------>tmu_sno=None ------>sno=17685 ------>authors2=Lin HC ------>authors3= ------>authors4= ------>authors5= ------>authors6= ------>authors6_c= ------>authors=Lee HC ------>delete_flag=0 ------>SCI_JNo=None ------>authors2_c= ------>publish_area=0 ------>updateTitle=Is the volume-outcome relationship sustained in psychiatric care? ------>language=2 ------>check_flag=None ------>submit_date=None ------>country=NULL ------>no=8 ------>patent_SDate=None ------>update_bywho=None ------>publish_year=2007 ------>submit_flag=None ------>publish_month=8 |
