Reducing Readmissions Through Improved Transitions

​In September, hospitals were encouraged to complete at least five interviews with readmitted patients. Many resources are available to aid with this topic. Throughout Indiana we see a focus on improving efficiency and access to innovative post-acute care resources. View the "Community Partnerships: What Are Your Peers Doing?" HIIN webinar for more insight. Huddle for Care is another site with multiple resources; this website highlights hospital stories and interventions for improving transitions. Browse Huddle for Care stories to see if they mirror the data you collected and for innovations adaptable to your organization. HRET also offers a variety of readmissions resources, including a Readmissions Dashboard, Readmissions Trail Guide, Readmissions Reduction – Gap Analysis, Dr. Amy Boutwell's Instructional Video Series and ASPIRE Readmissions Review Tool. You can view all of HRET's readmissions resources here. Please communicate your interview findings with Becky Hancock, IHA Patient Safety and Quality Advisor, rhancock@ihaconnect.org
