What happens when a Medicare patient is discharged from a hospital and goes home?

One in six Medicare patients is readmitted to the hospital within 30 days. This startling fact was revealed in a recent Dartmouth Institute study of over 10-million Medicare patients. More than half didn’t follow up and see their doctor within two weeks after leaving the hospital.

Analyzing the hospital records, researchers found “widespread and systematic failures in the coordination of care for patients” after discharge from the hospital.

Every year since 2013, Medicare has penalized hospitals for their increasingly high 30-day re-admission rates of Medicare patients. In 2016, a total of 2,597 hospitals—representing half of the nation’s hospitals—were penalized over half-a-billion dollars.

Extensive research studies identify why you’ll enjoy a safer, speedier recovery in the comfort of your own home with home healthcare:

 
  1. LOWERS your risk of going back to the hospital

    Studies show that individuals who live alone have a 50% higher risk of having to go back to the hospital within 30 days of discharge, compared to those living with others.
  2. KEEPS your recovery on track

    Recovery from adverse health events depends on a clear understanding of the doctor’s healthcare instructions and guidelines. Our home care staff coordinates with your doctors to ensure that their orders are properly followed while keeping you informed about all aspects of your care.
  3. BETTER medication management

    Medication-related problems are the main reason for more than 88% of emergency-room admissions among elderly patients. Two-thirds of those admissions are re-admissions which could easily have been avoided with competent home healthcare services.
  4. EARLY detection of new health issues

    Regular in-home visits and monitoring by a Healthier You nurses can often identify health problems for prompt treatment, avoiding the need for an ER visit or hospital re-admission.
