"The great challenge will be learning what leads to avoidable
readmissions. For example, we will need to understand what led to a
patient's admission in the first place in order to assure that we have
addressed the circumstances that precipitated the admission. If there
are
medical, social, or environmental issues that compromise the patient's
health, we need a plan to mitigate those issues by the time the patient
is discharged. Otherwise, there will be no reason to believe we can
avoid a readmission.” Martin S. Kohn, MD, MS, FACEP, CPE, FACPE, Chief
Medical Scientist, Care Delivery Systems, IBM Research

"Analytics are big.
Overall, roughly three-fourths (74.4%) of respondents have analytics
that help them identify patients at high risk of readmission, while
another 17.9% don’t currently have the capability now but are working on
it. Only 7.7% said no."
