AHA Endorsement:

Acute & Post-Acute Care Transitions Management Solutions

As health care organizations continue their transformation toward providing value- and outcomes-based care, they are driving to achieve the “Triple Aim” of improving the health of the population, enhancing the experience and outcomes of the patient, and reducing the per capita cost of care1. With health care reform initiatives such as bundled payments, shared savings and accountable care organizations, acute and post-acute transitional care plays a significant role in reducing readmissions, improving clinical outcomes and managing financial risk.

Why We Endorse Acute and Post-Acute Care Transitions Management Solutions from Healthways

After extensive consideration and evaluation through the AHA Signature Due Diligence Process™, the American Hospital Association endorsed Healthways’ Acute and Post-Acute Care Transitions Management Solutions for their ability to help hospitals coordinate the high quality of care needed to improve health outcomes for the populations they serve.

Healthways’ distinguishing features extend beyond commonplace readmission avoidance solutions to provide a holistic approach to improving patient well-being before, during and after hospitalization. Its multifaceted approach integrates evidenced-based medicine and best-practice strategies from industry-recognized care transitions programs to support the interdisciplinary management of patients across the acute and post-acute care continuum.
