“…In addition, when assessing readmissions 7, 15, and 30 days after discharge, the algorithm classified almost the same percentage as potentially preventable, which is inconsistent with the notion that readmissions are more likely to have been preventable if they occurred closer to the initial discharge . Another study that assessed the performance of the software in the adult population reported that the algorithm performed with 85% sensitivity, but only 28% specificity …”

“…In an attempt to identify potentially preventable readmissions without using chart reviews, 3M (St. Paul, MN) developed its Potentially Preventable Readmissions software (3M‐PPR), which uses administrative data to identify which readmissions were potentially preventable. Although this automated approach is less time intensive, evidence suggests that due to a lack of nuance, the algorithm significantly overestimates the percentage of readmissions that are potentially preventable . A study that used 3M‐PPR to assess 1.7 million hospitalizations across 58 children's hospitals found that the algorithm classified 81% of sickle cell crisis and asthma readmissions, and 83% of bronchiolitis readmissions as potentially preventable .…”

“…3,4 Pediatric readmissions have also been proposed as a quality metric, although they are less common and perhaps harder to reduce than adult readmissions. [5][6][7] The 30-day readmission rate for pediatric patients ranges from 3%-13% depending on the condition studied, 5,[8][9][10][11][12] and the all-cause readmission rate ranges from 6%-13%. 11,13,14 Studies estimated that 21%-25% of pediatric readmissions were planned, 15,16 which is substantially higher than with adult readmissions (8%-10%).…”
