What is the State Hospital Readmission (SHR) in MH-CLD?

The State Hospital Readmission (SHR) dataset contains: 

  • all clients 
  • who were discharged from a state hospital 
  • during the reporting period, 

The exceptions to it are those discharges that constitute: 

  • a transfer to a different unit or ward 
  • a change of legal status within the same facility or 
  • a transfer for short-term, acute, medical treatment 
    • where the client returns to continue their state hospital treatment during the reporting period. 

The SHR records the number of days elapsed following each discharge event and the succeeding readmission to the state hospital. 

  • The readmission is measured for 30 and 180 days.  

Clients included in the SHR dataset must also be reported in the Basic Client Information (BCI) dataset. These two datasets are linked using the Client IDs.
