Hospital Readmission Clinical Trial
Official title:
Physician Awareness of and Communication About Hospital Readmissions
Verified date | June 2011 |

Is FDA regulated | No |
Health authority | United States: Institutional Review Board |
Study type | Interventional |
Patients admitted to inpatient medicine services often require early hospital readmission, and often they are readmitted to different physician or team, potentially without the knowledge of the prior physician or team. Thus, physicians may lose the opportunity to share valuable information about readmitted patients, which may be detrimental to continuity of care and patient safety. The purpose of this study is to determine baseline awareness and communication rates among physicians regarding readmissions, and then measure the effect of automatic notification on these rates.
