Hospital readmissions are costly and frequently occur soon after discharge. Estimates of the total cost of readmissions range from $15 billion to $25 billion per year. The Medicare Payment Advisory Committee (MedPAC) estimates that readmissions cost about $7,200 per case and roughly 1/3 are caused by medication non-compliance. Imagine a simple-to-use, inexpensive appliance which reminds, records, reports and refills and can prevent thousands of dollars in readmission costs.
