LivinRite home health agency and hospitals working closely to reduce the hospital’s risk of patient re-admissions.
Two of the most commons reasons for hospital re-admissions are medication

perrors and failure to see a physician.
Both could be reduced if patients were supervised through home care visits after discharge.

60% of re-admissions are in the first 7 days
By revamping discharge policies in collaboration with the “Rite” HH company, hospitals can more fully utilize collaborative community relationships
Develop ‘grass root’ partnerships with SNFs , ALFs and Hospice agencies within the local area(s)

ACH PROGRESS?Introduced in 2011, a national quality improvement
initiative to reduce unnecessary readmissions for cardiovascular patients.
The goal was to reduce re-admission rates among patients discharged with heart failure or acute myocardial infarction by 20% by Dec 2012. LivinRite Achieved 21%. This has been maintained.

Readmissions
• Almost one‐fifth of the Medicare beneficiaries who h d b di h d f t f ilithad been discharged from an acute care facility were rehospitalized within 30 days, and 34.0% were rehospitalized within 90 days (Jencks, Williams, and Coleman, 2009)
• Nearly 90% of readmissions are unplanned and potentially preventable which translates into $17potentially preventable, which translates into $17 billion or nearly 20% of Medicare’s hospital payments (Hernandez et al., 2010)
