4 Ways EMS Can Reduce Readmissions By Offering Non-Acute Care


1.    Provide greater continuity of care between health care facilities and the patient’s home

2.    Offer post-discharge follow-up visits to help patients transition to their homes, maintain their care plan, and avoid hospital readmission

3.    Refer patients, when appropriate, to urgent care or primary care facilities

4.    Help patients better navigate the health care system, especially those with chronic comorbidities or complicated medical conditions
