Etymology
The term 'readmit' is derived from the prefix 're-', which means 'again', and the root word 'admit', originating from the Latin 'admittere' which means 'to send to' or 'to allow to enter'. The concept of re-admission in a medical context has evolved over time, particularly with the increasing complexity of healthcare needs and the focus on patient care. It gained prominence in healthcare discussions as hospitals began tracking re-admission rates to improve patient outcomes and identify potential systemic issues.
