REDUCING INAPPROPRIATE
READMISSIONS —
EFFECTIVE STRATEGIES
AND SOLUTIONS
Hospitals are in the midst of a readmission crisis.
When CMS announced its first round of penalties at the start of fiscal year 2013, more than 2,200
hospitals were hit with cuts ranging from 0.01 to 1 percent of their Medicare revenue, which could
translate up to seven figures per facility. Medicare's penalty for excess readmissions will climb to
3 percent by 2015, leaving little time for hospitals to develop and implement processes and programs
that will lower their 30-day readmission rates and preserve their revenue streams. Contact us today
to learn about TeamHealth's proven tactics that have helped keep clients' readmission rates 48%
below the national average, saving hospitals millions of dollars.
