RightCare addresses a $30 billion problem in the United States:
preventing readmission. Working with hospitals, insurers, and homecare
agencies to identify patients at high risk for readmission, the tool was
developed from a study led by Dr. Bowles using referral decisions made
by discharge planning experts for 355 hospitalized older adults.
Used at the beginning of a hospital stay, D2S2 can help care coordinators identify high-risk patients quickly, and provide them enough time to coordinate the right care for high-need patients post-discharge to facilities such as home-care, skilled nursing, rehab, or a nursing home. Beta testing is now underway at three hospital systems, according to Heil, and D2S2 is scheduled for national implementation this summer.
