Answer preview
The key decision-makers are the state government officials involved in healthcare sectors and healthcare institutions whose unplanned readmission rate is below the CMS-recommended level within the 30-day observatory, post-discharge period. I will convince these decision-makers by presenting a literature review of prior studies to show the evidence-based reports on how different counter-readmission programs, such as Care Transition, Program Project Re-Engineered Discharge, and Transition Care Model, have been successful in reducing the alarming rate of unplanned readmissions. I will also present the cost incurred through Medicare payments when preventable readmissions exceed, and how the country continues to face increased rate of premature deaths and impairments.
