    Safety-net hospitals have argued that their patients are more likely to suffer complications after leaving the hospital through no fault of the institutions, but rather because they cannot afford medications or don't have regular doctors to monitor them.https://n.pr/2NEpMvk

        My non-profit health system has a mission to serve the poor and vulnerable. We know readmits are dramatically reduced by ensuring patients have access to safe housing upon release. It's frustrating how this part of effective recovery is dismissed as irrelevant to health outcomes.

        Medicare doesn't hesitate to pay for pharmaceuticals for an infection caused by lack of adequate shelter or sufficient medical supervision. Though this kind of readmit is fairly common, at no point does the cost of housing vs recurrent hospitalization enter the calculation.

        They're arguing because it's fact. Tons of data to support their claims.

        This has always been an issue. Also for institutions that treat cancer patients. Yes, they get sick, from treatment or from their disease, and require re-admission. Penalizing institutions without regard to their patient population is arbitrarily destructive.

        This is a very good thing. These hospitals are essentially acute & primary care for these patients. They will definitely re-admit.
