Background: Discharge to post-acute care settings (PACs), such as skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), requires significant, complex discharge planning which often needs to be started early during hospitalization to be complete by time of discharge. This study sought to identify and model factors which predict a given patient’s likelihood of requiring PAC after discharge, using routinely […]

Background: The simplified HOSPITAL score is an easy-to-use prediction model that accurately identifies patients at high-risk of 30-day unplanned readmission before hospital discharge. The predictors include the last available hemoglobin and sodium levels at discharge. Because an earlier stratification risk of readmission would allow more preparation time for transitional care interventions, we aimed to assess […]

We completed a small pilot study looking at a multidisciplinary bedside huddle in the 24 – 48 hours before discharge which decreased readmission rates in high risk patients from 36% to 20% in a small pilot study.
