To the Editor: Two years ago the Hospital Readmissions Program was started by Medicare as an effort to drastically reduce readmissions across the nation by penalizing hospitals that showed high occurrences of patients being readmitted within a month of discharge. 2014 marks the second year of these efforts, which leaves us wondering, how are New …
