Medicare Support for Reduction in Hospitals' Avoidable Readmission Rate

  • Health Reform allocated $500 Mn for hospital-community organization partnerships to help hospitals to reduce readmissions—priority given to organizations in AoA projects and those serving rural and underserved populations.
  • Quality Improvement Organizations (QIOs) might be assigned to assist hospitals in the 10th Statement of Work (SoW) (August 2011)—an expansion of 9th SoW project in 14 States.
