Hosts Pam Dunwald and Linda Kritikos discuss the issue of hospital readmissions, why they occur, and how they can often be prevented. Hospital readmission is defined as a return to the hospital within thirty days of the patient’s discharge. Often, readmissions occur due to miscommunication, misunderstanding, or medication changes. Advocates, like the type provided by Your Nurse Advocate Consulting, can reduce hospital readmissions by 30%. Join Pam and Linda to find out how.
Hospital readmissions are not just frustrating and discouraging; they can be risky and costly as well. Pam and Linda break down common reasons older adults tend to end up back in the hospital: 1. Confusing or incomplete discharge instructions, 2. Medication errors or missed prescriptions, 3. Lack of follow-up appointments, and 4. Unaddressed symptoms or complications at home. These reasons can be prevented with a nurse advocate on hand. An advocate clarifies all instructions and medications, tracks doctors’ discharge summaries, makes follow-up appointments, and ensures the transition from the hospital to the next step is smooth and organized.
