Multicomponent interventions merit consideration to curb readmissions; leaves open essential components and requires prospective validation.
Do multicomponent interventions reduce hospital readmission rates in discharged patients?
Multicomponent interventions are necessary to significantly reduce hospital readmission rates, as single-component strategies are generally ineffective.
Kripalani et al. (2013) conducted a review in Hospital readmission. Multicomponent interventions was evaluated on Hospital readmission rates. Multicomponent interventions successfully reduce hospital readmission rates, whereas single-component interventions are unlikely to significantly reduce readmissions.
