What is a primary goal of the Hospital to Home (H2H) initiative?

The primary goal of the Hospital to Home (H2H) initiative is to reduce 30-day readmission rates for cardiac conditions. This initiative focuses on improving the transition of patients from hospital care to their home environment, ensuring that patients receive the necessary follow-up care and education to manage their health effectively after discharge. By emphasizing proper discharge planning and continuity of care, the initiative aims to minimize complications that could lead to readmissions, especially in patients with heart failure and other cardiac conditions.

The reduction in readmissions not only improves patient outcomes but also supports healthcare systems in managing costs associated with repeated hospitalizations, ultimately contributing to more efficient use of resources.
