Reducing Readmissions in the Safety Net Through AI and Automation

This technology-based readmission reduction initiative demonstrated efficacy in reducing readmission rates, closing equity gaps, improving survival, and leading to a positive financial impact in a safety-net health system. This approach could be an effective model of technology-based, value-based care for other resource-limited health systems to meet pay-for-performance metrics and retain at-risk funding while improving clinical and equity outcomes.
