What is State Hospital Readmission (SHR)?

The SHR dataset contains all clients who were discharged from a state hospital during the reporting period, except discharges that constitute a transfer to a different unit/ward or legal status within the same facility or for short-term acute medical treatment after which the consumers return to continue their state hospital treatment during the reporting period. It records the number of days elapsed following each discharge event and the succeeding readmission to the state hospital. The readmission is measured for 30 and 180 days. Clients included in the SHR dataset must also be reported in the BCI dataset. The BCI and SHR datasets are linked using the Client IDs.
