Summary

Unplanned 30-day hospital readmissions are an critical healthcare quality metric, with meaningful effects on patients and health systems operations. Interventions to reduce unplanned readmissions have primarily operated within a healthcare-centric frame, with enhancements to either pre- or post-discharge care planning, medication reconciliation, or visit frequency. Associations of 30-day readmission rates with poverty status and other social factors, however, suggest that attending to unmet social needs may yield added benefits to models focused on healthcare delivery. The purpose of the present trial is to provide evidence regarding the effects on 30-day readmissions of providing a one-time post-discharge income supplement to socially vulnerable older adults with medical complexity participating in an enhanced care coordination program.
