  • Title: A Partnership for Patients Initiative: Redesigning a Medical-Surgical Unit's Discharge Process to Reduce Readmissions.
    Author: Thomas DV, Siaki LA.
    Journal: Nurs Econ; 2017; 35(2):76-87. PubMed ID: 29985572.
    Abstract:
    Each year millions of people are readmitted to hospitals across the nation; many of these readmissions are preventable. Successful care coordination and transition management strategies are critical steps needed to meet Partnership for Patients goals of reducing harm and improving the quality and safety of health care. Decreasing variance in healthcare delivery can improve quality, safety, and improve patient outcomes. Project Re-Engineered Discharge shows promise as an evidence-based, standardized approach to address preventable hospital readmissions.
