Definition of Readmissions
“… in the case of an individual who is discharged from an
applicable hospital, the admission of the individual to the
same or another applicable hospital with in 30 days from the
date of discharge.”

Readmissions Impact Multiple Areas
23
Magnitude of the Problem
• Analysis of 2007 Medicare data finds:
 20% of beneficiaries are re-hospitalized within 30 days
 35% are re-hospitalized within 90 days
• Among those re-hospitalized within 30 days:
 50% had no claim for physician services between discharge
and re-hospitalization
Source: Jencks SF, Williams MV, Coleman EA. Rehospitalizations among patients in the Medicare fee-for-service program. The New England Journal of Medicine.
2009;360:1418-1428.
24
Magnitude of the Problem (continued)
Beneficiaries with
10 or more chronic
conditions are 6
times more likely
to be readmitted
to the hospital.
Source: Berkowitz SA, Anderson GF. Medicare beneficiaries most likely to be readmitted. J. Hosp. Med. Nov 2013;8(11):639-641.
25
Magnitude of the Problem (continued)
A managed care organization with 18 hospitals:
250 out of 537 (or 47%) readmissions were considered
potentially avoidable.
Factors contributing to avoidable readmissions:
 Index stay
o
Suboptimal management of the condition present
 The discharge process, care transitions, and care
coordination
o
Unaddressed psychological and social needs
 Follow-up care
o
Failure to adjust the plan of care to better meet patient needs

Patient Impact
• Re-hospitalization places patient and family under significant
physical and emotional distress.
• The patient is at risk for potential medical errors, falls, and
infections.
• Exposed to Post-Hospital Syndrome:
 “During hospitalization, patients are commonly deprived of sleep,
experience disruption of normal circadian rhythms, are nourished
poorly, have pain and discomfort, confront a baffling array of mentally
challenging situations, receive medications that can alter cognition
and physical function, and become deconditioned by bed rest or
inactivity…”

Moving From Competition To Collaboration
• Taking risk (in this case, collaborating with your
competition) can be the best opportunity for success
and innovation.
• Create a strategic alliance with the goal of providing
mutual benefit (e.g., improving the quality of patient
centered care while reducing readmission rates).
• Recognize that improving care transitions and reducing
readmissions takes time and commitment.
 Some challenges require “quick and easy” fixes while most
others will take long-term dedication.
51
Moving From Competition To Collaboration
(continued)
• Providers tend to have similar challenges but rarely have
a chance to discuss these challenges across provider
types.
• Identifying challenges within a community with all
provider types represented at the table often starts with
lots of finger pointing.
• Use other providers’ perspectives as learning
opportunities.
 Challenges are likely interconnected between providers.
• Once everyone at the table decides to take ownership of
the challenges as a community, actionable items arise.
