In a recent news article, Nexus Health CEO Dr. Virginia Feldman was interviewed about Nexus Health's techniques for reducing readmissions in its most recent pilot program.
The pilot program took place at 3 Pennslyvania Hospitals, according to the article, and included scheduling follow up appointments for patients and conntecting them with local care services. This proved to help the readmission rate.
Feldman noted in the article that patients fail to make the necessary follow-up appointments leading to readmission being likely.
With Nexus Care Coordinators assisting the discharge process and transition back to home, patients are able to make those appointments, take appropriate medications and address issues before they require another hospital stay.
