Patient readmission impacts
hospital's bottom-line
Preventable hospital readmissions cost
Medicare about $12 billion a year
Potentially preventable hospitalizations cost
$31 billion per year in the U.S. Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation
2225 hospitals were fined total $227 Million
collectively for excessive re-admissions

Managing patient care outside of
hospital is paramount to reducing
readmission
 Patient spends 28 days at home after 2 days of inpatient stay;
patient spends more time outside the hospital than inside the
hospital
 Discharge planning a.k.a how patient follows care instructions
at home matters most
28 days 2 days

Multiple reasons for treatment non-
adherence post hospital discharge
 Patient might not understand instructions
 Patient might not be educated about the
impact of non-adherence or about the
condition itself
 Patients might not schedule follow up visit
 Patient might forget!
 Patient might not understand medication
dosage

adherence is 27%
