A look at strategies for lowering hospital readmissions across the continuum of care
Hospital readmissions are a multi-dimensional problem. No single player or entity is entirely responsible for reducing excess readmissions. By improving our understanding of each touch point along the patient care continuum, strategies can be developed that ultimately reduce total readmissions.
This paper explores the roles of patients and providers in reducing readmissions and reviews several strategies that each can implement to help reduce readmission rates.
- Which patients are at high risk of hospital readmission?
- Comprehensive discharge planning strategies
- The physician’s role in lowering hospital readmission rates
- Optimizing communications handoffs between providers
- Building patient-centered transitional care models
- End of life planning
