From the article, "Impact of the Implementation of Project Re-Engineered Discharge for Heart Failure patients at a Veterans Affairs Hospital at the Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare System," Hospital Pharmacy, Patel and Dickerson, 2018.
"Based on the data collected in this study, it appears that post–Project RED patients had a lower rate of 30-day hospital readmission for HF, decreased all-cause mortality, increased follow-up with PCP appointments attended per post discharge instructions, and higher cost saving. While primary outcome of 30-day readmission was not statistically significant, it may still be of clinical significance in practice".
The impact of the re-engineered discharge project was really meaningful, especially in improving patient outcomes. I once studied a similar healthcare initiative and was surprised by how small process changes can make a big difference. During that time, I thought about take my online class to handle the workload. This post shows how innovation can enhance care quality.
