CareCentrix to Present at Hospital Readmissions Conference

January 27, 2011 By Bio-Medicine.Org

HARTFORD, Conn., Jan. 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — CareCentrix,
Inc
., the nation’s leading provider of home health benefits
management services, will present tomorrow at the World Congress’
2nd Annual Leadership Summit on Hospital Re-Admissions in
Washington, D.C.  Dr. William Kerr, Chief Medical Officer,
will discuss CareCentrix’s HomeSTAR™ programs which are
reducing hospital readmissions through the use of home based
interventions.

Hospital readmissions are estimated to cost the U.S. health care
system $31 billion, according to an April 2009 study by the U.S.
Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.   Twenty
percent of all Medicare patients are estimated to return to the
hospital within thirty days of discharge, and fifty-six percent
will be readmitted within a year, according to a January 2009 study
reported in the New England Journal of Medicine.  To
address these findings, CareCentrix has developed a structured
program providing discharged patients with transitional, home-based
support services. These services have proven to increase the
likelihood of a successful recovery at home, avoiding a readmission
to the hospital. Services are delivered by home health agencies
educated in the program and chosen from CareCentrix’s nationwide
network. The HomeSTAR™ name describes the program’s goal to
provide patients a Home-based Successful Transition And Recovery
from their in-patient stay.  

“The HomeSTAR™ program has demonstrated effectiveness in
reducing the number of patients who return to the hospital after
discharge.  Our home health agency partners who implement our
specific interventions play a critical role assisting individuals
with their transition from 24/7 care in the hospital setting to
independent healing at home,” said Dr. Kerr. “I’m very pleased to
be able to share the structure and results of the HomeSTAR™
program at the World Congre
