5.02.2018 Plan All-Cause Readmissions For the Count of Expected 30-Day Readmissions, we are using the calculation in Step 6 in HEDIS Volume 2 (pg. 384), but IDSS is calculating differently. Is this calculation correct?

The calculation for the Count of Expected 30-Day Readmissions is incorrect in Volume 2. IDSS currently calculates this field by using the formula "Count of Expected 30-Day Readmissions" = "Expected Readmission Rate" * "Count of Index Stays".

Please provide data for the Expected Readmission Rate and the Count of Index Stays and IDSS will use these values to generate the correct calculation.
