The Invisible Cost of Status Quo

For many health systems and health plans, the post-acute care transition is a black box. Patients leave the acute setting and disappear from view, only re-emerging when something goes wrong. This report quantifies the hidden costs of this visibility gap, including preventable readmissions, avoidable emergency department visits, and delayed identification of patient deterioration. It makes a data-driven case for investing in real-time post-acute intelligence and offers a framework for estimating the return on investment from improving care coordination across the acute to post-acute transition.
