$500M in Readmission Prevention Funds to Bypass Hospitals
Hospitals aren't very happy about the prospect of community-based organizations getting federal funds to coordinate post-discharge care in an effort to curb readmission rates.
It's not entirely true that hospitals will not get any money. It is just that the money will flow through the CBO to other partners. So for excample, if a hospital is implementing project RED in addition to a coaching model, then the hospital can get a portion of the funding towards implementation of RED. It just has to flow through the CBO.
