Reading Hospital Saved $1 Million in ER Costs by Addressing SDOH

  • Date: 07/13/2020

A new case study released from Reading Hospital and Healthify shows the positive real-world impact Reading Hospital has made in the community by identifying and addressing the health-related needs of local Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries. Reading Hospital formed the Community Connection Project (CCP) consortium to align community and clinical linkages between the hospital and Berks County organizations such as New Journey Community Outreach, Berks Encore, and Centro Hispano. Healthify’s platform provides the means for the CCP consortium to screen and refer patients. In just one year, Reading Hospital and the CCP consortium reduced the cost of unnecessary emergency department visits by $1 million for Medicare and Medicaid patients.
