Solution Session : Reducing Preventable Readmissions: Automating Strategies with Active Analytics
| Sponsored by: |  |
In the United States, hospital readmissions are a significant healthcare problem with negative consequences of poor patient outcomes and financial penalties. Approximately 20% of Medicare patients are readmitted for the same diagnosis within 30 days leading to an associated cost near $17 billion. As healthcare organizations shift towards risk-sharing reimbursement models, addressing readmissions is critical for financial sustainability. The strategy to reduce preventable readmissions is multipronged and requires a coordinated engagement model between multiple stakeholders across care settings at various phases in the patient cycle. A critical success factor is using active analytics to automate these strategies.
During this session, Dr. Le will discuss how a strategic informatics platform is essential in reducing preventable readmissions and provides the foundation to achieve three key steps:
- Identify opportunities to automate strategies
- Coordinate care through best practice engagement models
- Apply active analytics to intervene with impact
