Reducing Chronic Condition Readmissions

Preventable hospital readmissions are costing the healthcare system approximately $25 billion on an annual basis, and it is estimated that one out of every five Medicare patients is readmitted to the hospital within 30 days of discharge.

Patients who do not appropriately manage their chronic conditions are prone to acute events that require hospital admissions.

This panel will discuss strategies for reducing potentially preventable hospitalizations.

Topics include:

• Utilizing home healthcare to reduce readmissions
• Optimizing care transitions from hospital to home
• Addressing Socio-Economic Factors in Reducing Avoidable Readmissions
• Identifying High-Risk Patient Populations
• Improving Patient Outcomes & Cost Savings by Leveraging Remote Monitoring Technology
• Emergency Department Strategies to Reduce Hospital Readmissions
