Discussion
Consider the six aims of quality set forth by the Institute of Medicine (2001) (care that is safe, effective, efficient, equitable, timely, and patient centered), and apply them to the issue of reducing readmissions. For example, for equitable care, how does reducing readmissions affect care across all race and ethnicity groups? How do care interventions to reduce readmissions vary for different patient groups? Identify two or three issues for each aim.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
