Jiayun Xu John Hopkins and Re-hospitalizations Study

The John Hopkins University is a private research University in Baltimore Maryland.  This is a modern research University founded in 1876.   The (CMS) Centers for Medicare and Medicaid have made it clear that re-hospitalizations are no longer an accepted part of the medical care delivery system.  Jiayun Xu is the principal investigating nurse in a grant funded study to help prevent hospital readmissions.

The focus of the study is listed as :
Decision making prior to re-hospitalization among patients with heart failure.  Researcher Jiayun Xu received an 84,464.00 grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).  Jiayun Xu also received a 5,000.00 grant from the American Nurses Foundation (ANF). 

This is research money to promote an ongoing assessment of the effectiveness and potential harms of transitional care interventions which can be used to create policy and modify clinical decision making about strategies to reduce readmission rates among adults with heart failure.  This includes geriatrics, chronic disease and transitions of care. The study period is listed as 2013 to 2014.

Home Care Path and the PATH ALONG model will be watching for the findings of this research study.  This is an important approach to incorporating safety and quality to the care process while managing the readmission rate.
