Primary care: the new frontier for reducing readmissions.
To date, efforts to reduce hospital readmissions have centered largely on hospitals. In a recently published environmental scan, the investigators examined the literature focusing on primary care-based efforts to reduce readmissions. They found that multi-component care transitions programs that are initiated early in the hospitalization and are part of broader primary care practice transformation appear most promising.
