Hospitals Health Systems

In the value-based care landscape, 30-day post-discharge readmissions serve as a crucial performance metric for hospitals. With reimbursements linked to readmission rates, hospitals' responsibilities extend beyond discharge.

Simple Care Medical Services' telehealth solutions identify patients most at risk for readmission, proactively engage them, and prioritize customized interventions and continuity of care.

Hospitals face significant Medicare penalties without proper patient monitoring. Chronic care management helps reduce hospital readmissions and prevents these penalties.

2,545

CMS penalized 2,545 hospitals for having too many Medicare patients readmitted within 30 days of discharge.

1 in 5

One-fifth of all Medicare beneficiaries discharged from hospitals return within 30 days, costing Medicare approximately $26 billion per year.

$553M

According to CMS, the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP) is expected to impose $553 million in penalties to hospitals in FY21. In FY20, this amount was $563 million, affecting 2,583 hospitals.
