Providing post-acute services is a significant challenge for both payers and risk-bearing providers. In the 90 days following discharge from an acute care hospital, older patients are 6 times more likely to be hospitalized, 11 times more costly, and 9 times more likely to die. Given this, why is it that providers struggle to improve outcomes for this high-risk population?
