Improved Care Transitions Reduces Readmissions Saving $3.2M Annually
Hospital readmissions cost Medicare $26 billion annually, with over 3.8 million adults readmitted yearly, many potentially preventable. Allina Health, having already cut readmissions significantly, sought further reductions through its data and analytics platform powered by Health Catalyst software. The platform pinpointed care transition factors, identified precise improvement opportunities, and measured intervention impacts on outcomes. This enabled targeted strategies that reduced readmissions and saved $3.2M annually, enhancing efficiency and patient care continuity.
