Although individuals at risk for hospital readmission span diagnoses and patient populations, common sequelae of a hospitalization are shared. Further, the principles guiding interventions (e.g., focus and intensity) may be similar. This course will review specific direct patient care interventions and other contributions (e.g., communication, discharge recs, decision-making) for patients at risk for hospital readmissions. Case examples for specific diagnoses and patient presentations will be explored.

1. Hospital-Associated Deconditioning and High-Intensity Interventions
This chapter describes the importance of hospital-associated deconditioning and a proposed hierarchy for guiding interventions.
2. Physical Interventions: Principles, Monitoring, and Progression
This chapter presents details regarding specific intervention principles and approaches, including high-intensity exercise, monitoring (prior, during, after), and progressing and regressing.
3. Non-Exercise Interventions for Rehabilitation Professionals to Prevent Readmissions
This chapter provides a description of non-exercise interventions for professionals that may help prevent future readmissions from occurring.
4. Q&A
Chapter Four is a Q&A session with Kyle Ridgeway about a case study, focusing on how to reduce the patient's risk for readmissions.
