Improved Patient Outcomes: Patients experience better health outcomes and quality of life when they receive appropriate post-discharge care and avoid complications that lead to readmissions. Cost Savings: Reducing readmissions lowers healthcare costs by decreasing the need for additional hospital stays and associated treatments. Enhanced Hospital Reputation: Hospitals that successfully reduce readmissions may improve their reputation and attract more patients, leading to increased revenue. Compliance with Regulations: Hospitals that reduce readmissions can avoid financial penalties and maintain compliance with healthcare regulations.
