Guest: Anupam Chandra, M.D., Consultant, Internal Medicine, Mayo Clinic
Hospitals discharge more Medicare beneficiaries to skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) than to any other post-acute care setting. Approximately 25% of those patients return to the hospital within 30 days. Many of these readmissions are preventable.
In this podcast Anupam Chandra, M.D., Internal Medicine, Mayo Clinic shares how artificial intelligence is employed to determine which patients are at the highest risk for readmission and why. Dr. Chandra discusses Mayo Clinic's approach to readmission reduction for skilled nursing home patients, how it was implemented, and what factors are monitored to gain additional insights into clinical practice.
