Hospital Guide toReducing Medicaid Readmissions (August 2014)
Reducing
readmissions is a national priority for payers, providers, and policymakers
seeking to improve health care and lower costs. Readmissions are a significant
issue among patients with Medicaid. The Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality (AHRQ) commissioned this guide to identify ways evidence-based
strategies to reduce readmissions can be adapted or expanded to better address
the transitional care needs of the adult Medicaid population.
