Reducing 30-Day Readmissions in Post-Acute Care: Top Strategies

While acute care has become increasingly standardized, post-acute care (PAC) remains a wild card for hospitals, health systems, and payers—driving wide variations in readmission rates, recovery times, and patient satisfaction.

With CMS expecting all Medicare patients to be in some form of a Value-Based Care (VBC) arrangement by 2030, one goal remains consistent across all VBC models: reducing 30-day hospital readmissions from post-acute care.

From TEAMS (which holds hospitals accountable for outcomes across a 30-day episode) to ACO REACH, MSSP, BPCI, and various Alternative Payment Models, 30-day readmissions continue to be a major pain point. Once patients transition to skilled nursing or home health, clinical visibility often disappears, and outcomes become unpredictable. However, with the right approach, the PAC network can become a powerful driver of both margin and quality in value-based care.

This webinar—featuring experts from Provider Partners Connect Care, Real Time Medical Systems, and Innovaccer—will focus on eliminating the guesswork around what’s happening in your PAC network. We’ll explore common pitfalls that lead to readmissions and share practical steps you can take right now to monitor, measure, and manage post-discharge outcomes more effectively and collaboratively.
