Leuder Haus in Jefferson County implemented a discharge improvement plan aiming to reduce hospital readmissions and improve retention rates by developing discharge objectives, tracking data, and staff discussions. Results showed a decrease in short-term admissions and repeat stays, leading to increased bed days. The next steps involve continuing to track data and discussing it among staff. The impact included better anticipation of discharges, improved patient care, and over $250,000 in additional revenue.
