NURSING HOME

HHOMECare seeks to provide a comprehensive solution that can help healthcare organizations especially Nursing Facilities reduce their readmission rate. We provide higher-quality Physicians and NPP’s upon discharge, both directly and with Telemedicine to make sure patients do not return to the Emergency Room or Hospital. We pay particular attention to skin and wounds especially for the elderly and the diabetic. We help health facilities to succeed under the Hospital Readmission Reduction Program with a platform that allows you to manage care transitions across the continuum of care.

Medicare and other Payors by the provisions of the Affordable Care Act that increase hospitals’ financial accountability for preventable readmissions, now require certain quality measures from Health providers, Hospitals, Nursing Facilities and Accountable Care Organizations (ACO). One such measure is the 30 -day readmission for certain conditions such as Heart failure, Pneumonia and Myocardial infarction. Preventable hospital readmissions are a source of unnecessary costs to Medicare—over $15 billion annually.1–2Readmissions jeopardize the health of the frail elderly who are particularly vulnerable to loss of function, hospital-acquired infections, and other poor outcomes when hospitalized.3Many interventions aimed at reducing hospital readmissions target transitional care, care-coordination, or post-discharge care services for select populations.

Preventing readmissions and avoiding readmission penalties is crucial. Whether a hospital, health system or ACO is looking to succeed under certain quality measures or to improve their financial outcomes, preventing readmissions is an important step for any organization.
