Background: Traditional readmission case review processes at our tertiary-care academic institution failed to identify obvious target processes for readmission reduction. Looking for a more nuanced method of readmission review, we turned to our patients. We conducted over 300 readmitted patient interviews and a focus group to learn from our patient’s experiences. We then developed a […]
