Hospital readmissions cost healthcare organizations billions annually while harming patient outcomes and satisfaction. Each preventable readmission represents both a clinical failure and a financial penalty under value-based payment models. A robust Care Management Platform provides the tools needed to identify high-risk patients, coordinate post-discharge care, and prevent costly return visits. Effective Care Management tackles these issues by creating structured processes for transitions of care. When properly implemented, a comprehensive CM Platform transforms disjointed post-discharge activities into coordinated efforts that keep patients healthy at home.
