Executive Briefing: Reducing Readmissions
Sponsored by:
I
mproving post-discharge care has become a growing source
of interest and exploration as hospitals put a stronger empha-
sis on reducing readmissions.
The shift from a fee-for-service model to a pay-for-performance
model of care has thrust readmissions into the spotlight as a major
indicator of hospital performance. Medicare's decision to tie hospi-
tals' reimbursements to readmissions upped the ante further.
For Zach Silverzweig, co-founder of the healthcare solutions com-
pany CipherHealth, improving post-discharge care isn't just about
good business, it's personal.
Mr. Silverzweig is a cancer survivor who — roughly 10 years ago
— was treated at one of the top hospitals in New York City. De-
spite the hospital's prestige, the care Mr. Silverzweig received af-
ter being discharged left quite a bit to be desired.
"The amount of support I got once I left the four walls of the hos-
pital is night-and-day different than the kind of experience that I
see becoming more standard nowadays," says Mr. Silverzweig.
