GlyCare Can Help Reduce 30-Day Readmission Rates

Hospitals are penalized by CMS for having too many hospital readmissions. In fiscal 2020, CMS will penalize approximately $563 million in payments to hospitals. Out of the hospitals evaluated, 83% will receive a penalty. This is an astounding amount, but it does not need to be this way. Glycemic abnormalities can lead to complications, which lends to readmission rates. With specialized glycemic management teams, GlyCare can help hospitals lower these rates.
