The challenge

Too few patients reached inside the TCM window

For transitional care management, CMS expects an interactive contact within 2 business days of discharge. Manual outreach reached too few of Space Coast ACO’s discharged patients inside that window, so the ACO could not bill TCM for many discharges, and patients without follow-up were more likely to return to the emergency department.
