9. HowCan MVC
Help?
According toThe SepsisAlliance, 12% of hospital readmissions
overall are sepsis patients.
Combination of care after discharge may lower readmission rate.
You are able to see your own facilities episode spend and
readmission data on the MVC registry.
11. Discussion
Is the data shown here surprising to you?
Is this data you track within your facility?
What type of data is your facility interested in for sepsis?
How do you track your readmission rates related to sepsis?
Do you utilize Skilled Nursing facilities (SNF) frequently for post
acute care in your sepsis population?
What criteria do you use to determine post-acute care placement?
What follow-up care do you provide to reduce readmissions?
How do you work with the SNFs and home health agencies to
prevent readmissions?
