“It would be difficult to generalize that ‘all patient-centered medical
homes’ are having an impact on readmission rates. Our experience
indicates that three processes need to be in place to optimize
readmission rates: (1) clear communication at the time of discharge from
the hospital to the medical home; (2) a timely follow-up office visit
(within 5 business days) with a particular focus on medication
reconciliation; and (3) subsequent active outreach and follow-up by
phone for those patients at particular risk." Bruce Nash, MD, Senior
Vice President, Medical Affairs/Chief Medical Officer, CDPHP |
