Does the right senior care placement reduce hospital readmission?
Yes. Mount Sinai's published discharge-to-placement protocol reduced 30-day senior readmissions 18%. Hospitals face up to 3% Medicare DRG penalties under the CMS Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program. Right-fit senior placement is a measurable readmission lever.
Hospital readmission within 30 days of discharge is one of CMS's most-tracked quality measures. The CMS Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP) penalizes hospitals up to 3% of total Medicare DRG payments for excess readmissions. Senior patients are disproportionate contributors. Mount Sinai's structured discharge-to-placement protocol — verifying receiving-community capability before discharge — produced an 18% reduction in 30-day senior readmissions in their published case study. The same operational discipline applied in Houston discharges is the SeniorIQ B2B thesis. We are the AI infrastructure that makes the protocol scalable across Memorial Hermann, Houston Methodist, HCA Houston, St. Luke's, and MD Anderson.
