Opportunities for St. Maximus Expand home health and reduce use of SNF services where appropriate Put a program in place to monitor patients following discharge – Medication reconciliation – Home assessment – Primary care visit within 7 days – Emergency plan for likely events Consider preferred relationships with collaborative & high value facilities. 36

Two years into the program, an unexpected pattern is emerging: the biggest savings and improvements in care are coming from avoiding procedures that shouldn’t be done in the first place. Atul Gawande, Overkill, The New Yorker WalMart Center of Excellence Program
