QUOTE ATTRIBUTABLE TO MELANIE MATTHEWS, HIN EXECUTIVE VP AND COO:
Click here for Melanie Matthews's profile.
"With payors more closely scrutinizing readmission rates and penalizing hospitals for readmissions they classify as avoidable, the responsibility for a successful hospital discharge is increasingly shared by all of the patient's providers."
