Key result
Use of a teach-back methodology combined with a discharge bundle resulted in an 8% reduction in 7-day readmission and 10% reduction in 30-day readmission over 16 months.
Why the study?
Does a teach-back methodology combined with a discharge bundle reduce unplanned 7- and 30-day readmission rates in pediatric patients?
Does a teach-back methodology combined with a discharge bundle reduce unplanned 7- and 30-day readmission rates in pediatric patients?
Effect estimate: 8% reduction (7-day) and 10% reduction (30-day)
Implementation of a teach-back methodology and discharge bundle successfully reduced unplanned 7- and 30-day pediatric readmissions.
May support teach-back plus discharge bundles in pediatrics; leaves open need for randomized confirmation.
The authors describe a quality improvement initiative aimed at decreasing unplanned 7- and 30-day readmission rates in an urban, pediatric, tertiary care hospital. A stepwise approach was used to disseminate the pilot initiative across 16 inpatient units. Use of a teach-back methodology combined with a discharge bundle resulted in an 8% reduction in 7-day readmission and 10% reduction in 30-day readmission over 16 months.

Shermont et al. (2016) studied Pediatric hospital admissions. Teach-back methodology combined with a discharge bundle was evaluated on Unplanned 7- and 30-day readmission rates (8% reduction (7-day) and 10% reduction (30-day)). Use of a teach-back methodology combined with a discharge bundle resulted in an 8% reduction in 7-day readmission and 10% reduction in 30-day readmission over 16 months.
