OUR SOLUTION HELPS KEEP DISCHARGED PATIENTS FROMREVOLVING IN AND
OUT OF THE HOSPITAL.It’s a frustrating pattern that affects
patients across the country. They are discharged from the hospital,
only to need to return within weeks … often for the same condition.
It’s a cycle that increases the chances of a poor outcome for the
patient and increases costs for the hospital.
CMS has made it a priority to address this problem, and is
making special funding available (Partnerships for Patients) to
Areas on Aging and other community-based organizations. There is
one stipulation – CMS will only fund those agencies with proven
experience.
That’s where eQHealth Solutions can help. That’s where eQHealth
Solutions can help. Care Transitions is our proven approach that
has achieved results quickly while helping hospitals improve the
level of care they provide patients.
Of the patients enrolled in our program, only 11 percent were
readmitted… a reduction from the 19 percent readmission rate for
all Louisiana Medicare patients.
In 2011, CMS recognized these results by awarding us their
Special Recognition Award for Innovation.
