Study Summary
New or worsening symptoms following discharge from the hospital likely leads to unplanned readmission. These rates are higher than desired and costly to patients, payers, and providers. Many interventions have unsuccessfully attempted to reduce readmissions, but few have provided in-home personnel to patients transitioning from acute care back to ambulatory care. Still fewer have involved a physician in the home. We therefore will test the effect of a physician home visit to a patient's home who was discharged in the last 4 days.
