Mulitmodal Triansiational Care Intervention does not reduce readmission rates.
Disappointing, but not surprising, since at least in older people:
✳️ Readmission is unpredictable
✳️ #Readmission has too many potential causes to fix with 1 intervention
✳️ Many of these causes are non-medical and outside the hospital perspectiveCongratulations on this important work though!

Here's a #ThrowbackThursday blog post from 10 years ago, together with a link to some current info in the same vein.
Ten years ago, #Medicare #hospital #readmission penalties got off the ground under the #ACA (aka #Obamacare).
Back then, the amount recouped was ~$280m (FFY 2013), it's now up to ~$521m (est) (FFY 2023).
Imposition of penalties has motivated an improvement in performance -- but things can get even better, and we know how to do it. As I shared 10 years ago:
"Effective communications is fundamental to ensuring that patients become engaged in their care and, consequently, better equipped to follow discharge instructions and self-monitor after leaving the acute care setting.
"Coupled with patient-centered practices supported by past studies which have shown that 'the single most effective strategy for improving patient satisfaction is purposeful hourly rounding by nursing staff,' a 'sustainable discharge' strategy is highlighted as a key predictor of avoided readmissions."
