Reduce your Re-Admission Rate!
Medication non-adherence is currently a huge problem, with an average of only 50-60% of patients taking medications as prescribed.
The average preventable hospital re-admission rate is currently 23% within 30 days of discharge, with a staggering 45% re-admission rate within 90 days of discharge. Continued Care Pharmacy (CCP) has been able to lower this rate to 2.4% within the first 30 days, and 3.7% within 90 days of discharge.
