Hospitals face daunting financial pressures due to Medicare readmission penalties. While studies show that pharmacists can reduce preventable readmissions considerably, few hospitals involve their pharmacies in discharge counseling or postdischarge follow-up with high-risk patients. By coordinating the efforts of community hospitals and pharmacies, the pharmacy can prevent 30-day readmissions in a new pay-for-performance model. Ateb’s patient management solutions drive adherence and enable hospitals to improve quality and reduce preventable readmissions, thereby lowering the overall cost of health care.
