Rehospitalizations: packaging discharge and transition services to prevent "bounce backs"
Geriatrics.
2009 May.
Abstract
There are many factors that can reduce the rates of rehospitalization, including transition or discharge coaches who work with the patient before, during, and after the discharge; better collaboration between hospitals and physicians to improve promptness and reliability of follow-up care; and earlier medical follow-up after surgical procedures.
