Results & Reactions from the First National A3 Collaborative Cohort
This past March marked the end of the initial A3 Collaborative, culminating in a celebration of organizations’ advancements and showcasing results from the 12-month learning experience. Teams shared a broad range of performance outcomes ranging from internal structure and process improvements, to clinical outcomes improvements, to reductions in hospital readmissions. Results such as: reducing 90-day readmissions by 59%; in another example: a net Return on Investment (ROI) of $486,304 (141%); and a third: total cost avoided of $870,000.
