Key result
A service-based care management model significantly decreased the mean rate of disease-related readmissions from 5.43 to 4.58 (p < 0.05) compared to a unit-based model.

Does a service-based care management model reduce readmission rates in hospitalized patients?
Absolute Event Rate: 4.58% vs 5.43%
p-value: p=<.05
Partnering care managers and social workers with physician services in a service-based model reduced disease-related readmissions without compromising patient satisfaction.
Amin et al. (2014) conducted an observational in hospitalized patients. Service-based care management model vs. Unit-based care management model was evaluated on disease-related readmissions (p=<.05). A service-based care management model significantly decreased the mean rate of disease-related readmissions from 5.43 to 4.58 (p < 0.05) compared to a unit-based model.
