THE ROLE OF TIMELY CARE IN REDUCING READMISSIONS
Research shows that timely follow-up care significantly decreases hospital readmissions:
- Patients receiving follow-up care within 7 days of discharge have a 21% lower risk of being readmitted within 30 days, especially those managing chronic conditions like heart failure and stroke.
- Follow-ups provided soon after discharge reduce readmission rates to 9.24%, compared to 15.67% among patients without immediate post-discharge care.
By partnering with MK Physician Associates, your agency gains access to expert care that ensures patients remain stable at home while reducing the risk of readmissions.
