AI Summary
This bill aims to reduce hospital readmission rates in Massachusetts. It sets a benchmark of a 20% reduction in readmission rates, as measured by the Health Policy Commission and the Center for Health Information and Analysis, between the rates observed in 2017 and those observed in 2020. Additionally, the bill requires any hospital that receives 25% or more of its readmissions from a skilled nursing facility to enter into a memorandum of understanding with that facility to establish protocols for reducing hospital readmissions, which must be submitted to the Department of Public Health.
