“…Inpatient readmission is common for individuals with severe mental illness (e.g., schizophrenia, mood disorders) with estimates in the range of 40% to 54% (Appleby et al, 2008;Klinkenberg and Calsyn, 1996;Lin et al, 2010;Weiden et al, 1996). The strongest predictor of inpatient rehospitalization is previous psychiatric hospitalizations (Bobo et al, 2004;Bowersox et al, 2012;Daniels et al, 1998;Mellesdal et al, 2010;Song et al, 1998;Zhang et al, 2011).
