Hospital Re-Admissions

Affordable Care Act – Hospital Readmission Reduction Program

The Problem:

The Hospital Readmission Reduction Program, a signature program of the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordability Care Act, kicked off on October 1, 2012 and threatens U.S. hospitals with diminished CMS reimbursements for high readmission rates. Every year nearly one in five patients discharged from a hospital is readmitted within 30 days, a costly reality viewed by many policymakers as symptomatic of a failing U.S. health care system. Failure to take medication as prescribed by a physician has been sited as one of the factors behind the 16%-24% re-admission rate in this country. Numerous private payers are also negotiating payment penalties for hospitals with high readmission rates. Medication Management is at the core of advanced discharge planning and transitional care.

The Solution:
Hello, my name is Mike Smith and I believe I have a partial solution for this exact issue. We are a NationWide voice and text base Medication Management Service that delivers scheduled PILL REMINDERS as a method of motivating a person that it’s time to take their scheduled doses of medications NOW! Depending on the time the call is scheduled the service will remind a person to take either their: breakfast – lunch – dinner or bedtime medications. If there isn’t a live answer, the service leaves a message. For the past 30 months seniors from around the country have been using our service to help them take their medications on time daily. If I can help people in their 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and 80’s to take their medication on time using our service daily, I feel very confident that we can help your hospital to reduce your current rate of re-admissions. I thought as the hospital administrator who oversees your readmission issue you would like to hear about a service that has a proven track record of helping people to become compliant with regards to their medication protocols and cost $1/day/patient. Medication Compliance starts with the first scheduled Pill Reminder phone call/text. One of the best aspects of our service is that there’s no new technology or equipment to buy lease or learn for the hospital or patient. The only information we need to know about each patient is their: phone number, times of day/night to call, start date and end date of the service. Think of our service as one of the tools you have at your disposal to help any discharged patient to remember to take their scheduled medication on-time daily.
