Readmissions

I was invited to be on a task force for our hospitals to look at our readmissions. I have been reviewing the information on the ACDIS website for ideas on how CDI can help with readmissions. We now monitor the PDx as compared to the previous admission for any sequencing or new diagnosis opportunities. Based on Glenn Krauss' blogs, we plan to dig a little deeper into comorbidities for risk adjustment.

Any other ideas? Have you been a part of this kind of initiative at your organization?

Thank you - I always know I can learn something new from my friends in CDI-land!
