Written by Sara Kirpes | April 10, 2018 at 7:48 PM

Readiness Rounds has spent the last ten years working one-on-one with clients, coaching them on high reliability methodology. We have built an all-inclusive methodology that when implemented system-wide can and will improve a hospital's main performance outcomes, for such things as CMS and HCAHPS star levels, readmission rates, survey findings, and more. In fact, as your high reliability partner, we guarantee improvement. 

The high reliability model is thorough and comprehensive, allowing guarantees to be made. In the event that improvement of critical metrics is not made, Readiness Rounds assumes a direct decrease in annual fees.

Let's take a look at a case study: White Plains Hospital Pioneers High Reliability Methodology

Over the course of a five year partnership, Readiness Rounds guarantees the following 6 performance outcomes, with the actual data from White Plains Hospital's improvement:

  3. Readmission Rate - a 25% improvement

  4. HAC Rate - a 23% improvement 

  5. VBP Score - a 30% improvement
