Readmission risk varies significantly by diagnosis and comorbidities. While primary conditions such as UTIs and pressure ulcers carry a relatively modest 5–18% risk, cardiopulmonary conditions like CHF and COPD face rates that can be three times higher. Cardiology and pulmonology complications are among the leading drivers of hospital readmissions. By embedding specialty providers into the post-acute setting, primary care physicians can collaborate with experts to stabilize complex patients and support facility teams. This approach delivers consistent care, reduces costly readmissions, and improves recovery, care quality, and overall outcomes.
We’re proud to deliver specialized cardiology and pulmonology care to communities across the country.
