2011 Benchmarks for Reducing Readmissions

Benchmarks in Reducing Hospital Readmissions

Dear Healthcare Executive,

Beginning in 2013, CMS will penalize hospitals for excess readmission rates.
Initial focus will be on readmissions for heart failure, acute myocardial

this area and deliver actionable data.
