Our new tools help professional clinicians do a better job of supporting patients at home so they do not return to the hospital. If they DO return, and are re-admitted, the Doctors and hospitals will be fined!
While great strides have been made in the reduction of 30-day all-cause hospital re-admissions, CMS still penalized more than 2,200 hospitals in 2013 for exceeding 30-day readmission rates for heart failure, pneumonia and myocardial infarction.
In 2015, CMS penalties will extend to acute COPD and elective hip and knee replacements.
See our new web for information.
