Welcome to the H2H National Quality Improvement Initiative
With the onset of health care reform, health care practitioners face a major challenge: how to reduce 30-day readmissions for heart failure and acute myocardial infarction—or risk losing Medicare reimbursement for these admissions. To meet this challenge, practitioners need concrete steps to accomplish this reduction and tools to support patients in managing their care.
The Hospital to Home (H2H) national quality improvement initiative, led by the American College of Cardiology and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), is a national rallying point to reduce cardiovascular-related hospital readmissions and improve the transition from inpatient to outpatient status for individuals hospitalized with cardiovascular disease.
