"Care Transitions" Reduces Readmissions
Within 30 days of discharge, 17.6 percent of Medicare beneficiaries nationally are re-hospitalized. In Louisiana the readmission rate is slightly more than 18 percent.
 
The Medicare Payment Advisory Committee estimates that up to 76 percent of those readmissions nationally may be preventable, representing a potential savings to Medicare of more than $12 billion annually.
