H2H: Hospital to Home - Our 2009 primary Quality initiative
The Hospital to Home (H2H) is a national campaign to reduce preventable readmissions for patients recently hospitalized with a cardiovascular condition, the leading cause of hospitalization in the United States. The American College of Cardiology and the Institute of Healthcare Improvement, organizations with a successful record of improving care, are combining forces and developing partnerships to form a campaign to improve the transition of patients from inpatient to outpatient status. About one in five patients hospitalized with cardiovascular conditions are readmitted within 30 days and studies suggest that many of these readmissions can be prevented.
