"Hospitals with higher nurse staffing are less likely to be penalized by
the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services for excessive readmission
rates than similar hospitals with lower nurse staffing ratios. According
to some studies, each additional nurse hour per patient day was
associated with 10 percent lower odds of receiving penalties under the
Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program.” - Adina Burgad, PhD, MSN, CNM, Assistant Professor of Nursing, Columbia University School of Nursing. |

"Studies have found
that 40-50 percent of readmissions were related to psychosocial problems
and a lack of community support resources." Excerpted from: Readmissions News, Volume 6, Number 10, October 2017, "How Social Determinants Impact Hospital Readmissions," by Lawrence Troutman, MD, MPH. |
