Multiple Emergency Admissions

If a patient has more than one unplanned continuous spell of treatment in hospital in a year, this is defined as a multiple emergency admission for that patient.

If one patient has 2 emergency continuous spells of care in hospital in a year and another patient has 10 emergency spells of hospital care in the same year, then they would count as 2 patients with multiple emergency admissions.
