“Telehealth for Limiting Readmission Rates of COPD Patients: An Assessment Based on Medicare Data”

The article presents significant strategies for states across the US for COPD with poor HCC risk scores and high reimbursement losses.

The solution? Telemedicine.

The study identified states across the United States that should choose to incorporate telemedicine into how they diagnose and treat patients based on the needs of healthcare facilities and the internet connectivity of households in those states - presenting the potential improvement of HCC risk scores and reimbursement amounts by lowering readmissions while also promoting higher patient and physician satisfaction.
