Description
Lakshay Singla and co-authors audited readmissions after planned bowel surgery in a 2025 quality project. Patients bouncing back to hospital hurt recovery and clog wards. Their center saw unplanned readmissions climb in early 2024. Rates sat above regional medians for colon and rectal operations.
National benchmark data framed how far behind they were. The team structured a review of causes and patterns. Some readmissions looked preventable on inspection. The project aims to cut returns and protect cancer treatment timelines. Other surgical units can copy the audit approach. Follow-up cycles will show whether the changes actually stick.
