Those who were not readmitted had a significantly higher score in the Health of the Nation Outcome Scales on index admission than those who were readmitted. Those who had community team contact on the day of discharge and those who received follow up by the mental health team within 7 days of discharge were more likely to be readmitted (55% vs 45% and 29% vs 19% respectively). <\/jats:p><jats:p> Conclusions: Significant determinants of early readmission identified were a history of recent previous admissions and a diagnosis of unstable personality disorder. The usefulness of this performance measure to Area Mental Health Services and clinicians is discussed. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3109\/10398562.2011.561845","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,6,20]],"date-time":"2011-06-20T09:52:38Z","timestamp":1308563558000},"page":"221-225","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["An Examination of Risk Factors for Readmission to Acute Adult Mental Health Services Within 28 Days of Discharge in the Australian Setting"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Tom","family":"Callaly","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Mental Health, Drugs and Alcohol Services, Barwon Health, Geelong"},{"name":"Deakin University, School of Medicine, Geelong, VIC, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tom","family":"Trauer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Psychology, Psychiatry and Psychological Medicine, Monash University"},{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, University of Melbourne"},{"name":"St Vincent's Hospital Mental Health Service, Melbourne, VIC, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mary","family":"Hyland","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mental Health, Drugs and Alcohol Services, Barwon Health, Geelong"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tim","family":"Coombs","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Training and Service Development, Australian Mental Health Outcomes and Classification Network, Sydney NSW and Melbourne, Victoria, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Berk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mental Health, Drugs and Alcohol Services, Barwon Health, Geelong"},{"name":"Deakin University, School of Medicine, Geelong"},{"name":"Orygen Research Centre, Parkville"},{"name":"Mental Health Research Institute, Parkville, VIC, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,6,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-10398562.2011.561845","volume-title":"Key Performance Indicators for Australian Public Mental Health Service.
