Study purpose for return to hospital? (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

readmission

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'return to hospital?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'study purpose' is the wordplay.
'study' becomes 'read' (synonyms).
'purpose' becomes 'mission' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'read'+'mission'='READMISSION'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for readmission that I've seen before include "This gains one further acceptance" , "Being allowed back in" , "entrance again" , "getting back in" , "allowing visitors back in?" .)
