Researchers compared the accuracy of readmission data from ACS NSQIP with data abstracted from the medical record and administrative data. Data was collected at a single academic institution between January and December 2011.
The ACS NSQIP had high agreement with the medical record on all-cause and unplanned readmission events and cause of readmission. In contrast, administrative data had high agreement with the medical record on all-cause readmissions, but could not identify unplanned readmissions and had lower agreement on cause of readmission, according to the study.
