  1. Reducing Bounce Back Hospital to Home: Maintaining Continued Healing Lorissa MacAllister Zhuoyang Li PramitSengupta Georgia Tech Health System Institute

  2. A readmission is defined as a hospitalization that occurs shortly after a discharge; which is most often measured as within 30 days but it could be shorter or longer. Such readmissions are often but not always related to a problem inadequately resolved in the prior hospitalization. Bounce Back Defined

  3. Enormous Cost

  4. Identifying Patient Population The hospitals identify and target patients at the highest risk for readmissions, particularly heart failure patients, the very elderly, patients with complex medical and social needs, and those without the financial resources to obtain post-hospital care.

  5. Problem Statement Hospital to Home: Maintaining Continued Healing Patients bounce back to hospital after discharge because they are not able to maintain the regiments of treatment at home. There are multiple problems for not being able to maintain the regiments of treatment at home. These are: lack of education, care-giver support, insufficient training to transition, not following the care plan, lack of ability to problem solve changes.

  6. Hospital to Home: Industry Identified Problems • Education for the family and patient • Being able to go home and have support that you need for continuous care • Transitionof E monitoring and continuity of care • Remembering your care plan • Being able to problem solve changes, self care

  7. Education for the family and patient:Education Educate the patient about his or her diagnosis throughout the hospital stay

  9. Home Support for continuous care: Community Health Providers Align hospitals’ efforts with those of community providers to provide a range of care. While this may be best achieved in integrated systems, such cooperation can be facilitated through collaborative relationships among hospital and community providers.

  16. Kit of Care • Identify roles (primary and secondary care gives • Segmented by time of day • Medication • Instructions • Activities • nutrition • Could be both physical and virtual

  17. Simulation of a day • Role play in the hospital prior to leaving care delivery. • Shadow the nurse. • No discharge delay • Problem solving
