Study finds automated texts decrease odds of rehospitalization pennmedicine jamanetworkopen
We developed a 30-day postdischarge intervention using automated texting, implemented it in a single primary care practice, and compared the intervention practice with a control practice. We tested the hypothesis that the intervention would be associated with reductions in postdischarge use of acute care resources. In addition, we evaluated patient engagement and experience.
Patients from the control practice received the standard-of-care TCM telephone call from their practice within 2 business days of discharge. This call is meant to identify any needs soon after discharge and consists of a set of questions related to follow-up appointments, medications, symptoms, and home care needs. Patients were also scheduled for a postdischarge office visit during the call.
The day after enrollment , patients began receiving check-in messages on a tapering schedule . These messages asked whether any help was needed. “No” responses prompted no further action. “Yes” responses were followed by a message asking the patient to categorize their need . Responses were escalated back to the practice for a follow-up telephone call. Escalation messages were read only during business hours and were responded to no later than 1 business day after receipt .
