The goal of improving patient-centered care, collaborative care, and patient outcomes, while also decreasing readmissions and cost of care is the top objective within many organizations. With these explicit outcomes in mind, the Advanced Practice Registered Nurses at Holy Name Medical Center, in Teaneck, NJ, worked together to create the organization’s NP Care Model.
This new patient-centered model resulted in significant success over a 12-month period – showing an 18% reduction in 30-day readmission rates and a total saving of over $700K in healthcare readmission costs. One of the main focuses of this model is identifying chronic disease individuals with a high risk for readmission and determining cost savings opportunities while providing high-quality care.
With CMS’ act of tying reimbursement to readmission rates and the ACA’s emphasis on care quality and decreasing cost of care, this new model could dramatically aid numerous organizations.
Join Judith Kutzleb, Vice President of Advanced Practice Professionals, as she shares insights on how she created the NP Care Model – from implementation and onboarding, all the way through measuring results and determining valuable outcomes.
