3 Readmissions to Reduce Now
As the rising tide of healthcare reform rolls in, the time is now for healthcare organizations to reduce readmissions by prepping for penalty conditions, and calculating revenue at risk.
How is the percentage of readimissions above the expected rate for a specific hospital calculated?
Reducing readmissions using health coaches is a low cost, low tech care coordination effort that has been a successful three-year effort sponsored by CMS. (We were a part of the project in Louisiana.) Free listening sessions for providers who want to learn more about how to do this are are being set up now by the Colorado Foundation for Medical Quality. You can also find free info at our Medicare QIO website or just DM me on twitter @eQHealth
