Reducing Readmissions through a Patient Self-Assessment Tool
Identifying Key Non-Clinical Issues Early After Admission
Mercy Health System of Maine
Portland, Maine

Mercy Health System of Maine has been working to find ways to continuously improve readmissions rates and target efforts towards discharged patients at high-risk for "bouncing back.” In an effort to address non-clinical factors contributing to patient readmissions, the cardiology department at Mercy Hospital piloted a patient self-assessment tool, the Patient Performance Enhancement Tool (PET). The results for the cardiology patients who participated in the pilot showed readmission rates that were two percent lower than the patients who did not participate.
