Hospitals and health systems have been challenged by readmissions for years. The costs associated with hospital readmissions can be high — in some cases even higher than the original hospitalization. This places a burden on patients, their families and the health system.

Patients who are transitioning out of the hospital are at a vulnerable point in their care journeys. Digital technology has emerged as a potential means of helping usher patients through this period of vulnerability. One such program has been proven to reduce hospital readmissions and enable greater care team efficiency with digital-first care journeys. This white paper examines this technology.

Learning points:

How a digital platform can lower hospital readmissions by 25% at 30 days.
How care management teams deliver more efficient care, allowing health systems to increase capacity, with technology.
How technology can be leveraged to build trust with patients and identify barriers to care related to social determinants of health.
