The guide—Taking Care of Myself: A Guide for When I Leave the Hospital—is now available in Spanish. Cómo Cuidarme: Guía Para Cuando Salga del Hospital can help hospitals reduce their readmission rates by better preparing patients for self-care and follow-up appointments before they leave the hospital.
The guide is adapted from Project RED (Re-Engineered Discharge), which was funded by AHRQ and developed by Brian Jack, M.D., and colleagues at Boston University Medical Center. Learn more about RED and its health-literacy-informed approach at: http://www.ahrq.gov/qual/pips/

Testing the Re-Engineered Hospital Discharge
Testing the Re-Engineered Hospital Discharge |
Brian Jack, M.D.; Boston Medical Center, MA AHRQ Grant No. HS015905-01 OverviewThis project re-engineered the process of discharging patients from a hospital back into the community to make the process safer. The discharge workflow was redesigned using a set of discrete, mutually reinforcing components that aim to reduce post-discharge adverse events and subsequent re-hospitalizations. Two features of the re-engineered process are a discharge advocate who works with patients throughout the process, and the real time production of a simple, easy to understand discharge plan. The toolkit includes:
Target AudiencePhysicians, nurses, pharmacists, patients, caregivers.Health Care SettingHospital care units.Toolkit Web Sitehttp://www.bu.edu/familymed/projectred.html.AHRQ ProductsTaking Care of Myself: A Guide for When I Leave the HospitalProject RED (Re-Engineered Discharge) Training Program The Project RED (Re-Engineered Discharge) training program is designed to help hospitals re-engineer their discharge process. Using the study modules and supporting materials, hospitals will become familiar with Project RED's processes and components, determine metrics for evaluating impact, and learn how to implement Project RED.
