Question

Readmissions can significantly affect a hospital's financial health due to changes in healthcare policies aimed at improving care quality. "Hospital readmissions have been associated with adverse outcomes and elevated financial costs to patients, families, and hospitals across the United States. Historically, nearly 20% of all Medicare discharges had a readmission within 30 days" (PIH, 2022). Hospitals with high rates of readmissions for certain conditions, including heart failure and pneumonia, may face reimbursement penalties under the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program.
