Cut Avoidable Readmissions
Hospital readmissions are disruptive to patients and costly to healthcare systems. Unnecessary return to hospitals shortly after discharge has been increasingly perceived as a marker of the quality of care that patients receive during hospital admission.
Hospital readmissions are frequent, harmful and costly - 18% of Medicare patients, totaling over 2.3 million patients annually, are rehospitalized within 30 days after discharge, incurring an annual cost of $17 billion, which constitutes nearly 20 % of Medicare’s total payment.
However, it is reported by the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC) that about 75 % of such readmissions can and should be avoided.
