The Hospital to Home (H2H) Initiative is a resource for hospitals and cardiovascular care providers committed to improving transitions from hospital to "home" and reduce their risk of federal penalties associated with high readmission rates.

Projects

Self-contained improvement projects that include a goal statement, success metrics, a tool kit, an assessment, and 3 webinars (evidence, tools, lessons learned) that provide participants with recommended strategies and tools to achieve small, attainable goals in their organization.

  • See You in 7

  • Mind Your Meds

    The goal of the H2H MM Challenge is for clinicians and patients discharged with a diagnosis of HF/MI to work together and ensure optimal medication management.

  • Signs and Symptoms

    The goal of the H2H S&S Challenge is to activate patients to recognize early warning signs and have a plan to address them.


News And Research

    Pharmacy residents at the University of California Davis are conducting research to improve medication management and patient care, showing how pharmacists can help reduce hospital readmissions and contribute to better outcomes. Jeremiah Duby, a research advisor for pharmacy residents, highlights projects addressing high-risk medications for the elderly and the role of pharmacists in managing long-acting injectable antipsychotics. Duby notes that pharmacists excel in researching the practical aspects of pharmacotherapy such as medication initiation and titration. The American Journal of Managed Care (10/1) Learn More
