Nursing home providers can compare their hospital 30-day hospital readmission rates to their peers, the county, state and nationally using the new Hospital Readmission Analysis in LeadingAge Nursing Home Quality Metrics.

The data used to calculate the hospital readmission rates comes from annual Medicare inpatient fee-for-service claims data. Currently data from 2011, 2012 and 2013 is available with 2014 rates expected to be released in early December.
