"Adverse drug events
are the leading cause of preventable readmissions. Previous
fee-for-service methods did not provide any incentive to leverage new
technologies or develop more consistent processes to reduce
readmissions. The value-based purchasing portion of the Affordable Care
Act provides hospitals the financial incentives to embrace change.” Al
Babbington, CEO, PrescribeWellness

"The results of
the study on the commercial population showed that participants in the
TCM program had statistically significantly lower 30-day readmission
rates than non-participants. Overall, the participant group experienced
a 32% reduction in the 30-day readmission rate, from 5.93% down to 4.04%."
