A Pragmatic, Randomized, Controlled Trial Examining the Effectiveness of a Hospital Discharge Follow-up Phone Call Program
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Follow-up Phone Call for Discharge Follow-up Phone Calls. Completed, enrolled 3,054 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this project is to quantify the impact of post-hospital discharge follow-up phone calls on hospital readmission, ED visits, patient satisfaction, and mortality in a general medicine inpatient population. We will obtain exploratory information on patient sub-groups at high risk for hospital readmission and on those experiencing high benefit from the follow-up phone call intervention. In addition, we will obtain data on discharge plan implementation assistance needed to support a successful transition from inpatient to outpatient care among those reached by the intervention phone call.
