Advanced Practice Nurse Transitional Care Program Reduces Readmission Rates

July 26, 2011 by Kevin Murphy

A recent study in the Archives of Internal Medicine determined that elderly heart failure patients who completed an Advanced Practice Nurse transitional care program while hospitalized, which entailed various pre-discharge procedures and post-discharge house calls, had a 48% lower readmission rate compared with other seniors who did not complete the program. An additional study of 257 seniors found that 12.8% of seniors who participated in the transitional care program required readmission hospitalization compared with 20% of elderly patients who did not participate in the program.
