The varieties of readmission: the case against the use of recidivism rates as a measure of program effectiveness.

Phyllis Solomon1, William Doll2.   

Abstract

The many kinds and functions of rehospitalization--frequently having little, if anything, to do with the recidivist's psychiatric status per se--are examined. It is suggested that the use of recidivism rates may blind evaluators, program planners, and practitioners to the multiplicity of dynamics involved in the rehospitalization process.
