Quality Analysis of Unplanned Readmissions Using Fishbone Diagram and Pareto Chart in a Chinese Tertiary Hospital
Employing integrated fishbone diagram and Pareto chart analyses, this study systematically deciphered the root causes and dominant contributors to unplanned readmissions. These findings enabled the formulation of targeted evidence-based management strategies. This study provides novel insights and methodologies for hospital management practices, serving as a valuable reference for other healthcare institutions seeking to reduce unplanned readmission rates and enhance operational efficiency.
