"A lot of hard work has gone into trying to reduce readmissions, and the
needle has not moved very far. It’s been a huge investment by hospitals,

One
health system using EmmiTransition’s Voice User Interface technology to
follow up on for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients
found that patients who interacted with Emmi experienced a 15-day delay
in readmission than patients who did not receive the phone calls. Their
readmission length of stay was reduced by nearly 70%, as well.
