Patient readmission is a major problem in the United States healthcare system, resulting in billions in unnecessary costs each year and indicative of poor patient outcomes; the root causes have been identified as inadequate coordination of post discharge care and transfer of information to patients that enables them to direct their own post hospitalization care. Currently, hospitals do not have the ability to both coordinate the necessary post-discharge care and provide the patient with individually tailored information empowering the patient to direct their own care and remain out of the hospital.

Engineered Care’s software enables hospitals to implement a discharge system that is proven in a randomized controlled trial to reduce readmissions by over 30% percent and reduce costs by over 33%.
