Readmission Rate Calculator accuracy and testing

This page documents how Calwarden builds trust for this calculator: source notes, regression-style default tests, limitations, assumptions, unit handling, rounding, and visible change history.

Formula source

Readmission rate = readmissions / index discharges x 100. Excess readmissions compare actual count with target count.

Test cases

Default input regression check

Generated from the checked-in default inputs and calculate function.

Inputs

Index Discharges: 780
Readmissions: 42
Target Rate: 5%

Expected outputs

Readmission Rate: 5.38%
Target Readmissions: 39
Excess Readmissions: 3

Known limitations

This page documents the checked-in calculator logic and does not certify results for every real-world edge case.
Use the result as a planning estimate unless the calculator page states a stricter purpose.

Assumptions

The calculators use simple transparent formulas rather than vendor-specific analytics models.
Inputs are processed locally in the browser and are not stored by Calwarden.
Use the same definition, exclusion rules, and risk adjustment method as your reporting program.

Unit handling

Index Discharges accepts numeric values.
Readmissions accepts numeric values.
Target Rate accepts values in %.
Readmission Rate is displayed as a percentage.

Rounding rules

Number displays use up to 2 decimal places in the calculator UI.
Percent outputs are displayed with two decimal places.
Input precision follows configured step values where provided.
