The 2 KPIs that drive readmissions — and how hospitals act on them in real time
Tuesday, August 11th, 2026 | 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM CT
Hospitals chasing better readmission performance need to go deeper into the KPI level instead of shooting blindly. The data and KPIs point to the ED, where greater than 80% to 90% of readmissions arrive through the ED.
That concentration is an opportunity. Instead of monitoring dozens of variables, hospitals can focus on two operational KPIs that drive readmission outcomes — and watch them in real time.
This session shows how real-time identification, prioritization and alerting let care teams act before a readmission happens. The reach is narrower than expected: preventing just two to five readmissions per quarter is enough for many hospitals to reach top-tier performance, and identifying and managing only 2% to 5% of ED patients can measurably influence results.
You'll learn:
- Why the ED is the decisive setting for readmission performance
- How real-time visibility into two KPIs improves outcomes
- How identifying and alerting on 2% to 5% of ED patients can influence readmission performance
- Practical approaches to triage, care pathway selection and intervention for high-impact patients
