Answer 1

The case study is called "Pennsylvania psychiatric institute slashes readmission rates with AHRQ based discharge program" give another opinion on other effective solutions to their problem. Implement another effective solution.

The Pennsylvania psychiatric institute in Harrisburg reduced its 30 day readmission rate from 20% in 2013 to 10.4% in 2015 this is considered as one of best program by implementing a discharge program modelled after AHRQ’s Re –Engineered Discharge (RED) toolkit. According to the research it was identified as its previous program of is 30-day readmission rate than three other acute care facilities in the region.
