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.”

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

25
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.
26
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
coordinationo Unaddressed psychological and social needs
Follow-up careo Failure to adjust the plan of care to better meet patient needsSource: Feigenbaum P, Neuwirth E, Trowbridge L, et al. Factors contributing to all-cause 30-day readmissions: a structured case series across 18

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…”

• Facilitate in coalition building• Assist with conducting root cause analyses• Provide education and support for the selection of
evidence-based interventions, implementation, and measurement
• Partner with local, regional, & statewide groups • Provide technical assistance including readmission
data for the coalitions
36
The Role of the Community Organization

No Place Like Home Campaign
• A campaign supported by a broad and growing base of stakeholders in the Florida healthcare community
• Focused on: Addressing the drivers of
through the implementation of evidenced-based practices
READMISSIONS
45

o UNDERSTAND their conditionso KNOW who to contact with questions (and when)o ARE SUPPORTED by healthcare professionals who have
access to the right information, at the right time
47
No Place Like Home Campaign Basics
• Hospitals assign a multidisciplinary team Team lead, physician champion, and other team players
• Collect and analyze data• Invite post-discharge providers to participate
Skilled nursing facilities, home health, managed care organizations
• Develop and evaluate corrective actions using Plan, Do, Study, Act (PDSA)
• Implement successful corrective actions• Share lessons learned throughout the organization and
community

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.
53
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.
