Readmission Risk Assessment Tools

Readmission Risk Assessment Tools are tools used by healthcare providers to estimate the likelihood that a patient will need to return to the hospital after discharge. They analyze various factors such as the patient’s medical history, current health status, social support, and treatment plan. By identifying patients at higher risk, providers can tailor follow-up care, improve interventions, and reduce unnecessary readmissions, leading to better health outcomes and more efficient use of healthcare resources. These tools support informed decision-making to ensure patients receive appropriate support once they leave the hospital.
