The readmission penalty affects other providers as well. Physicians – hospitalists in particular – will be forced to rethink the way they treat or refer their patients, particularly those in the limbo of observation care. And patients themselves will often have to pay more out of pocket as a result. This could not only dramatically change the doctor-patient relationship in the hospital setting, but also could impact the bottom line of hospitals in terms of charity and uncompensated care.
Analytics and post-discharge technology are being increasingly utilized as tools in readmissions management that can be explored as tools in conjunction with case management to address the readmissions dilemma.
Join Maria Lopes, M.D., the chief medical officer of AMC Health and former CMO of Group Health Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey, and Daniel C. Cusator, M.D., vice president of The Camden Group, to discuss the upcoming change in the finance of hospital readmissions, and how the effects will ripple far and wide.
- Have a clearer grasp of the new rules regarding readmissions payments
- Understand the financial nuances and impacts of observation
- Have a clearer understanding of how observation care payment guidelines will financially hospitalist physicians, other members of the medical staff and patients
- Understand how observation care can impose limitations on future treatment options
- Consider how analytics and technology can be applied to readmissions management, including a case study involving interactive voice response and other post-hospital discharge telemonitoring solutions introduced as an adjunct to existing case management to reduce readmissions
