DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/0c38e4/2011_benchmarks_in) has announced the addition of the "2011 Benchmarks in Reducing Avoidable Healthcare Utilization: Data to Drive Down ER Visits and Readmissions" report to their offering.
Under intense scrutiny by CMS and private payors of consumption of healthcare resources - particularly hospitalizations, hospital readmissions and emergency room visits - many healthcare organizations have taken steps to curb avoidable utilization of services in the populations they serve.
In this era of value-based reimbursement, Benchmarks in Reducing Avoidable Healthcare Utilization: Data to Drive Down ER Visits and Readmissions takes a comprehensive look at industry activity in the reduction of hospital readmissions and ER visits as a whole, then drills down to the health plan and hospital perspectives presented by survey respondents. The utilization reduction data documented in this benchmarks report are derived from two separate surveys conducted in 2010 by the Healthcare Intelligence Network, to which a total of 180 organizations responded.
Each chapter documents strategies to reduce a specific type of healthcare utilization, identifying current and planned progams, targeted populations, hospital discharge tasks, patient satisfaction, reimbursement models, estimated ROI, and much more, easily discerned in more than 70 easy-to-follow graphs and tables.
Key Topics Covered:
Chapter 1: Performance Benchmarks in Reducing Avoidable ER Visits
Chapter 2: Performance Benchmarks in Reducing Hospital Readmissions
Chapter 3: Survey Tools
