New Jersey to Tackle Heart Failure Readmissions
Healthcare organizations in New Jersey announced this week a new statewide initiative aimed at reducing hospital readmissions related to heart failure through better care and closer provider collaboration.
Was there no mention of how this project is being funded, or if there are going to be any awards/penalties depending upon the outcomes? I was speaking with the CMO of a large Boston area hospital. He said that everyone knows that in the near future pay will be tied to lowering re-admissions. But since TODAY we are still paid by services, the hospital will not put any effort or money into project or tools to improve handoff communications.
