Abstract
Rapid readmission (RR) of psychiatric patients within 30days of discharge places a costly burden on state psychiatric facilities and may indicate suboptimal service provisions. Information regarding variables associated with RR of psychiatric patients is limited, particularly in Nevada. This study attempts to identify factors associated with RR at a Nevada state psychiatric hospital. Participants included 7177 patients admitted between May 2012 and April 2014. Using logistic regression, all admissions were reviewed and rapid readmits compared to counterparts who were not readmitted within 30 days. Nevada suffers from budget cuts in mental health care spending because of recent economic crisis and severe lack of bed space. This study demonstrates that it may be possible to reduce rates of costly RR by focusing on those with a history of RR and modifiable factors including social and financial support, as well as reliable and stable housing.
