Transitional Care Management
Aligning care after hospitalization
The crucial 30-day period after discharge
Ineffective care transitions following hospitalization increase the rates and costs of hospital readmissions. The need for comprehensive care doesn’t end after hospital discharge. Many patients experience medication-related discrepancies, worsening their conditions, driving hospital readmission rates. In a value-based reimbursement environment, readmission rates may lead to CMS penalties which can threaten a hospital’s financial health.
