1 UPMC St. Margaret Project RED Initiative

2 Facts Related to Hospital Readmissions Preventable readmissions are receiving more attention because they present important opportunities to improve patient care and reduce costs. The Medicare Payment Advisory Commission has estimated that potentially preventable readmissions might account for as much as $12 billion per year in medical costs nationally. Patients with heart failure had the highest total number of readmissions in the state of Pennsylvania, resulting in a readmission rate of 24.3 percent percent of adults end up back in the hospital within a month of their first admission. 2

3 Common Reasons for Readmissions Lack of timely post hospital follow up with a physician Patient has no primary care physician Patient lacks transportation Poor medication reconciliation Patient did not receive homecare services

4 What is Project RED? Re- Engineering Discharge

5 Re-Engineering Discharge To improve the discharge process at UPMC St. Margaret Project RED : Patient centered Prepares patients to care for themselves at home Decreases readmissions and visits to Emergency Department

Post discharge services 6. Written discharge plan 7. What to do if problems arise 8. Patient education 9. Assess patient education 10.Discharge summary sent to PCP 11. Telephone reinforcement

7 St. Margaret Comparison Baseline Readmission Rate at SMH = 12.4% Readmission rate per Diagnosis: CHF = 19.2% COPD = 16.5% PNA = 14.2% Average LOS at SMH = 4.89 days

8 Targeted Population of Project RED Pilot Patients admitted on 5A & 5B who are: Diagnosed with: CHF COPD PNA Readmitted within 30 days of discharge» Excludes UPMC Health Plan participants
