The hospital deployed an interactive voice response (IVR) program with the three-fold goal of reducing avoidable hospitalizations, increasing medication adherence and increasing overall patient/family satisfaction.</p>
<p style="font-size:14px;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#535353;line-height:18px;margin:0px"> </p>
<p style="font-size:14px;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#535353;line-height:18px;margin:0px">In addition, the IVR program aligns well with state policy initiatives, such as the Olmstead Implementation Plan, which encourages care for individuals with disabilities in community-based settings and helps ensure that children who need long-term services and support are able to stay at home, as opposed to returning to a skilled-nursing facility or an acute-care facility.</p>
<p style="font-size:14px;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#535353;line-height:18px;margin:0px"> </p>
<p style="font-size:14px;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#535353;line-height:18px;margin:0px">In this webinar, hear how the first year of the IVR program implemented at St. Mary’s resulted in a 39 percent reduction in hospital visits, while the 30-day readmission rate fell from 19 to 11.4 percent and the 90-day readmission rate fell from 35.7 to 22.7 percent. Because much of health care utilization (including use of ERs and hospitalizations) is attributed to medication non-adherence, IVR also allowed St. Mary’s to check on med adherence with every call. Finally, both patient and staff satisfaction significantly improved with IVR.</p>
