February 2, 2021 Dear Chicki Uy, I refer to the letter of Jan 27, 2021 09:30:06 PM; about your request under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch, for The number of unplanned readmissions per year among patients on maintenance hemodialysis in NKTI. Our response to your request is due on Feb 17, 2021 09:30:06 PM. Unfortunately, we presently do not have the data requested at hand and we still have to generate the data which will take a longer time. I apologize for this delay but have applied for an extension so we could work further on your request. We hope to be able to send you a response on or before Mar 17, 2021 09:30:06 PM. Should you have any questions regarding your request, kindly contact me using the reply function on the eFOI portal at https://www.foi.gov.ph/requests/aglzfmVmb2ktcGhyHgsSB0NvbnRlbnQiEU5LVEktMDEwOTgyMjY5NDk3DA, for request with ticket number #NKTI-010982269497.

March 29, 2021 Dear Chicki Uy, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Jan 27, 2021 09:30:06 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch. You asked for The number of unplanned readmissions per year among patients on maintenance hemodialysis in NKTI. We did not readily have the requested data but to accommodate your request, I have asked our Medical Records Division to generate the needed data for the year 2020. We have been markedly delayed since we also had a major server problem that has to be fixed to generate the needed information. Please note that we are only able to provide some of the information you have requested and I am attaching it to this letter. Pls note that the data provided is what we can actually generate from our hospital records. Being out patients, these patients on chronic hemodialysis, may seek admissions to other hospitals or even die outside of NKTI. We are not able to take these patients into consideration in the data that we have provided, Some patients on chronic hemodialysis were also "lost to follow-up". We hope that in some ways we have been able to provide you with some information that you need. Should you have further questions, please email me directly at [email protected] and I will try to see how I can further help you. Thank you. Respectfully, Dr. Ernesto Que FOI Decision Maker
