What software, electronic forms, and process ideas can be shared to test Project RED at other organizations?
Researchers tested Project RED by tracking various process and patient outcome measures. In order to better understand how well staff were using Project RED to discharge patients, researchers examined a variety of process measures, including the number of patients who received the After Hospital Care Plan, instruction from the discharge advocate, follow-up telephone calls, as well as the number of patients who had their medications reconciled. Researchers also reviewed various patient outcome measures, including patient satisfaction measures and hospital readmission rates. For additional information on the types of measures used to test Project RED, please review the following article: “A Reengineered Hospital Discharge Program to Decrease Rehospitalization. A Randomized Trial,” by Brian W. Jack, MD, et al., in the February 3, 2009, Annals of Internal Medicine, 150(3), pp. 178-187.
