Avoidable Hospital Readmissions Clause Samples

The Avoidable Hospital Readmissions clause defines the responsibilities and potential consequences related to patients being readmitted to a hospital within a certain period after discharge, when such readmissions could have been prevented with appropriate care. Typically, this clause outlines criteria for what constitutes an avoidable readmission, such as those resulting from inadequate discharge planning or failure to follow up on treatment. Its core function is to incentivize healthcare providers to improve care quality and coordination, thereby reducing unnecessary hospital stays and associated costs.
