Reduce Hospital Readmissions
Starting 2013 hospitals with high rates of readmissions for certain health conditions will see their Medicare reimbursement reduced when patients are readmitted within 30 days with the same or related medical condition.
Research shows hospitals can reduce readmissions, improve health outcomes, and increase patient satisfaction by improving communication and care coordination between patients and their entire care team.
e-CYREN is a patient-centered web based collaboration system that facilitates coordination of care between health care providers, families and other professional service providers.
Key to reducing hospital readmissions is engaging, empowering, and educating patients and family members before and after the patient is discharged from the hospital. Findings suggest before patients go home they are not given enough information on how to take care of themselves and stay healthy. Researchers suggest a few simple things to improve health outcomes, such as scheduling a doctor's appointment, reconciling medication, and explaining what to do at home and where to call if the patient has problems.
e-CYREN is the platform to keep an entire care team informed, empowered and educated ensuring a person leaving a hospital has a smooth and effective transition.
