Care Guidance Holds the Key to Reducing Hospital Re-Admissions

Why Care Guidance?

• Hospital Readmission Rates Impact Costs: unplanned readmissions cost Medicare a staggering $26 billion annually, straining healthcare budgets, eroding quality-of-care and the patient experience and impeding provider/health system value-based care arrangements.
• Non-Clinical Issues Stall Health Equity: social factors, including socioeconomic status and race contribute to health inequities and readmission risks. Patients facing these disparities are at a higher risk of readmission within 30 days of discharge for chronic conditions.
• Care Guidance Solution Reduces Readmissions:  specially trained care guides work with patients, using tech-enabled platforms to identify and proactively resolve non-clinical barriers to accessing care.
