Medicare pays approximately $12 billion annually in costs related to unnecessary hospital readmissions. On average, one in five Medicare patients is readmitted to the hospital within 30 days of being discharged. Studies show the problems that send patients back to the hospital might have been avoided if there had been a better handoff from the hospital to the people responsible for the next phase in a patient’s recovery, whether it’s the patient himself and his family, healthcare practitioners, a home health agency, a nursing home or a hospice.
