Readmissions Are Still Being Managed Incorrectly

Many organizations still approach readmissions as a care management problem.

In reality, preventable readmissions are often rooted in:

• Inconsistent physician workflows

• Poor discharge communication

• Perioperative variation

• Inadequate transition planning

Reducing readmissions requires alignment between:

• Physicians

• Nursing

• Case management

• Operational leadership

Hospitals that integrate physician engagement into discharge and transition strategy consistently outperform those relying on isolated interventions.

Reducing readmissions is both a clinical and financial imperative.
