The focus of the discussion is a pressing issue in healthcare: hospital readmissions. With the Affordable Care Act penalizing hospitals for patient readmissions within 30 days, healthcare systems are under pressure to innovate and enhance patient care beyond hospital walls. Dr. Booker shares his insights on how MedStar Health is tackling this challenge through innovation and technology. For more episodes of MedStar Health DocTalk, go to medstarhealth.org/doctalk.
