"The payoff of these strategies is by no means limited to the reduction of
avoidable readmissions. All of these efforts serve to tighten care coordination
and improve healthcare quality across the healthcare continuum when used in
care delivery systems such as the patient-centered medical home as well as in
health management programs."
