Care management programs like MPOWERHealth 360CareNav have been shown to be an effective means of decreasing readmission rates. This is due to the fact that care management provides a coordinated and comprehensive approach to care that includes patient education, discharge planning, and follow-up after discharge. A recent study showed that patients who received care management had a 30% lower risk of being readmitted to the hospital within 30 days of their discharge.
