SUMMARY
We identified the following issue/challenge/opportunity:
Our benchmarking reports showed an increase in readmission rates for bariatric patients receiving cardiac treatment.
We validated this by:
Speaking with the cardiology team, seeking further input from the HRT data team and observing readmissions over a period of 3 months.
We defined the problem worth solving as:
Bariatric patients undergoing cardiac treatments are being readmitted more frequently than before and creating additional cost as well as increasing risk and creating poor outcomes for those patients
We defined a successful outcome as:
Reduction in readmission rates for bariatric patients undergoing cardiac treatments.
