"While the spirit of the HRRP is to push hospitals to improve discharge
planning and care transitions, to reduce the likelihood of returning to
the hospital, mounting evidence suggests the program has had unintended
effects. Our study suggests that health care systems are intensifying
efforts to treat patients who come back to a hospital in ERs and as
observation stays, potentially to make their readmission rates look
lower." - Dr. Rishi K. Wadhera, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School in Boston. |

"After
adjustment for confounding variables, such as baseline demographics,
health literacy, primary diagnosis, comorbidities, readmission risk
scores, and prior hospitalizations, patients receiving TCC [Transition
Care Coordinator] Care had a 49% reduction in 30-day readmissions and a
41% reduction in 90-day readmissions." Excerpted from: Care Analytics News, Care Intervention Edition, Volume 12, Number 10, September 2019, "Targeting Transitions of Care to Reduce Readmissions: More is Not Always Better," by Robyn A. Tamboli, PhD and Sunil Kripalani, MD, MSc, SFHM. |
