The passage of the healthcare reform has introduced numerous changes to the entire healthcare system with a primary focus on reducing preventable hospital readmissions. The program will concentrate on decreasing costs and reimbursements while improving quality patient care and health. Preventable hospital readmissions presently cost the United States health system an estimated $25 billion annually, and are a significant avoidable cost. Poor discharge plans and inefficient patient follow-up are the largest contributing factors, and one out of every five Medicaid patients are readmitted within 30 days of discharge. This is the only conference on Reducing Hospital Readmissions that will equip you with innovative strategies and tools to be better prepared for 2013 and 2014. By attending the 2013 Congress on Reducing Hospital Readmissions, you will learn what others in clinical integration, utilization management, patient care and reimbursement are doing to be prepared for the challenges that lie ahead in 2013 and beyond.
