Telephone Support

Post-discharge telephonic support has evidenced a reduction in hospital readmission rates. The sooner this type of support is provided to the patient post-discharge, the greater the reduction in readmissions

Advance Care Planning

Advance care planning can assist with readmissions by understanding the patient’s care preferences. Home health agencies can initiative these conversations and better understand their patients’ wishes for end-of-life treatment.
