Welcome to the No Place Like Home Campaign!
The No Place Like Home Campaign seeks to engage hospitals, rehabilitation and skilled nursing facilities, hospices, home health agencies, community pharmacies, clinician offices, community-based organizations, and other care providers in a robust, intense 18-month collaborative effort to reduce avoidable hospital readmissions that occur within 30 days of hospital discharge.
Goals
- Prevent 4,000 readmissions within 30 days of hospital discharge by June 30, 2013.
- Reduce the overall readmission rate for Medicare beneficiaries by 20 percent (based on claims data from Medicare 2010).
- Decrease healthcare expenditures related to readmissions.
