Resource Abstract:
- description: <p>The Nationwide Readmissions Database (NRD) is a unique and powerful database designed to support various
types of analyses of national readmission rates for all payers and the uninsured. The NRD includes discharges for patients
with and without repeat hospital visits in a year and those who have died in the hospital. Repeat stays may or may not be
related. The criteria to determine the relationship between hospital admissions is left to the analyst using the NRD. This
database addresses a large gap in health care data - the lack of nationally representative information on hospital readmissions
for all ages.</p>; abstract: <p>The Nationwide Readmissions Database (NRD) is a unique and powerful database designed
