Readmissions on Teaching Versus Non-Teaching Services: Are They Any Different?

Introduction There is a paucity of comparative data on readmissions between teaching services (TS) and nonteaching services (NTS). Therefore, we designed this study to determine if there are any differences in readmissions between the two services. Materials and methods A unique cohort of 384 readmissions during one year was retrospectively examined at Hunter Holmes McGuire Veterans Medical Center.
