Details on Stericycle’s post-discharge hospital readmissions reduction program

Reduce readmissions and improve outcomes

Few patients fully understand their diagnosis and post-discharge instructions after a visit to the emergency department. To prevent avoidable situations where patients are readmitted, it’s crucial to implement proactive, early intervention.

Our post-discharge follow-up service helps hospitals and care centers manage patient care immediately following discharge, serving as an early intervention solution that can help reduce readmission and prevent CMS penalties.

Carenet helps hospitals manage patient follow-up
