  Patient readmission is commonly seen at the Cleveland clinic and I found this to be an interesting read into understanding how hospitals might do things different to reduce patient readmission.
  
  This synthesis report was written by health analysts and managers to summarize research that focuses on the reasons behind why specific hospitals are able to decrease their patient readmission rates. The article pinpoints ways that top hospitals have been able to reduce readmission rates and recommend ways other hospitals may be able to do the same. The article discusses how environmental factors, post-discharge follow-up, and patient knowledge of health conditions can all reduce readmission rates, among other factors. This review was useful to better understand how hospitals might improve their quality of care for the patient during their hospital stay and post discharge.
