- Reduce and Prevent Hospital Readmissions Program
When your loved one is discharged home from the hospital and is receiving home care, the new care team now has the responsibility to prevent hospital readmission.
Hospital readmissions are a serious and growing problem. Let’s take a look at the facts:
- Nearly 20% of Medicare patients who are discharged from the hospital are readmitted within 30 days.
- More than 17 billion dollars of public funds go toward caring for patients who are readmitted within 30 days of discharge.
- There were $528 million in readmission penalties from hospitals in 2017.
But it’s not just about the money. Readmissions put patients at increased risk of complications and infections.
This is why we make reducing and preventing hospital readmissions our priority.
We have invested heavily in education to create a specially trained team of caregivers that provide exceptional patient care and prevent hospital readmissions.
