Reduced hospitalization rates are not associated with increased mortality or readmission rates in an emergency department in Israel
2018
Background and Aim
In 2011 the Israeli Ministry of Health (MOH) instructed hospitals to limit occupancy in the internal medicine wards to 120%, which was followed by a nationwide reduction in hospitalization rates. We examined how readmission and mortality rates changed in the five years following the changes in occupancy rates and hospitalization rates.
