Did you know a significant number of patients discharged from an acute care setting eventually return to the Emergency Department and are readmitted to the hospital within 24 hours of their discharge? This can occur for various reasons, including:
- The patient is scared
- The patient needs additional education on their condition
- The patient has a limited or no support system
- The patient experiences medication complications
- The patient has the wrong equipment
- The patient experiences new or worsened pain
So, how can a patient reduce the risk of hospital readmissions and avoid returning to the nursing home?
