Description
This study evaluates a program to reduce hospital readmissions by engaging community-based
resources to assist high-risk seniors. The grant supports Mills Peninsula Health Services
in partnership with PAMF and Peninsula Family Services in the development, implementation,
and evaluation of a transitional care program to reduce readmissions for patients
age 65 and older. The goal of this grant is to achieve a sustained reduction in both
30- and 90-day readmission rates by at least 30% compared to a 2011 baseline
