CHA Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center

Medical Center successfully reduces medical care costs and hospital readmission rates with innovative Medicare program to support recovery post hospital stay.

LOS ANGELESThe Continuing Care Program at CHA Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center provides intensive support to Medicare patients for 90 days after discharge from CHA HPMC, while ensuring patients regain and maintain their health. On March 30, the Harvard Business Review, the worlds leading business and management magazine, published an authored article by Jamie Chang, MD, Chief Clinical Operations Officer at CHA HPMC, highlighting the medical centers success under program in reducing readmissions and improving patient wellness and satisfaction. Since BPCIA started, the medical care for HPMCs patients has cost 15 percent less than the targets set by CMS, said Dr. Chang.

CHA HPMC, in partnership with Charter Healthcare Group, launched the CCP in October 2018 to cost-effectively manage care for Medicare patients across a wide range of medical and procedural care clinical areas such as cardiac care and procedures (acute myocardial infarction, cardiac arrhythmia, congestive heart failure, and percutaneous coronary intervention), gastrointestinal care (gastrointestinal hemorrhage and obstruction), medical and critical care (cellulitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchitis, and asthma, renal failure, sepsis, simple pneumonia and respiratory infections, and urinary tract infections), neurological care (seizure and stroke), orthopedics (hip and femur procedures, excluding major joints), and spinal procedures (spinal fusion).

With the strong engagement from all stakeholders of the Continuing Care Program, CHA HPMC has substantially improved its quality of care and medical care costs for patients. We are proud to offer this patient-centric program to help optimize outcomes and enhance recovery for patients post-discharge.
