Avoidable hospital readmissions are under close scrutiny by policymakers, providing hospitals with added impetus to reduce costs and increase quality of care. The new Health Care Leader Action Guide to Reduce Avoidable Readmissions, funded and produced by The Commonwealth Fund, the John A. Hartford Foundation, and the Health Research & Educational Trust (HRET) of the AHA, provides a quick, simple resource for hospital leaders to get started on an action plan for reducing readmissions.
