Home Care Pulse Data Point: Tracking Readmissions

​One of the most critical ways that home care agencies can add value to the rest of the care continuum is by reducing the number of clients that are readmitted to hospitals. Home care is an ideal setting to focus on reducing readmissions because of its ability to proactively address factors across all parts of a senior’s life that could lead to an issue requiring readmission.

gencies that take a data-driven approach to reducing readmissions will not only be able to improve the quality care their patients receive but will be able to add immense value to other partners across the care continuum, who are increasingly looking for evidence of health outcomes in new partners.
