Percentage of emergency admissions to any hospital in England occurring within 30 days of the last, previous discharge from hospital after admission; indirectly standardised by age, sex, method of admission and diagnosis / procedure. Admissions for cancer and obstetrics are excluded.
October 2022: This is the last CCGOIS publication. All Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) were statutorily abolished on the 1 July 2022, and from this point all statutory obligations are managed by the Integrated Care Boards (ICBs). ICBs were established as statutory bodies from July 2022 and succeed Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships (STPs). These came into effect on 1 July 2022. A transition phase has been implemented from 1 July 2022, during which the 106 Organisation Data Service (ODS) codes that identified CCGs will be temporarily retained, but the names will be changed to identify the ‘Sub ICB Location’.
February 2021: There is an ongoing review by NHS Digital of Emergency Readmissions which includes indicators across the frameworks. Phase Two of the review has been on hold during the pandemic although we hope re-start this work during 2021. During the review this indicator is designated as an experimental statistic. Experimental statistics are official statistics which are published in order to involve users and stakeholders in their development and as a means to build in quality at an early stage.
