Ambulatory care services in the VA has a similar concept for hospital readmissions that was implemented about 8 years ago. The policy is to call the patient within 48 hours of hospital discharge, or sooner if possible. This made a difference, for various reasons that you indicated, particularly for medication education and management. It also gives another opportunity to extend on teaching and allows the patient time to ask additional questions to get their concerns and needs met.

Our hospital also has a similar process, which has showed a decline in re-admissions. It is great to see hospitals thinking of out-of-the-box ideas to assist the patient.
