Reason for readmission

Answer only one response indicating the primary reason for transfer.

• "Growth/Discharge Planning" = an infant is readmitted for continuing care in preparation for eventual discharge home. This category will include “back transfers” to your hospital because it is closer to the parents home.
• "Medical/Diagnostic Services" = the infant is readmitted to receive medical care or diagnostic tests which are not available at the transferring hospital.
• "Surgery" = an infant is readmitted to have surgery even if surgery is not actually performed after the transfer.
• "Other" = the reason for transfer does not meet any of the above criteria.

Note: if child readmitted within 28 days of birth, please ensure that all above values are updated as if child was not discharged from your clinic previously
