Abstract
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) will become the 3rd leading cause of death worldwide in 2020 and is currently the 3rd leading cause of hospital readmissions in the US. In October 2014, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) introduced penalties followed by bundle payments for care improvement initiates in patients hospitalized with an acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD). Fragmented care across settings cause readmissions for COPD. A patient-tailored case management initiative mitigated 30-day hospital readmissions at Sub-Acute Rehabilitation (SAR) centers. Care management and coordination activities represent important strategies for decreasing 30-day hospital readmissions from SARS.
