Abstract
The period after discharge from an acute care hospitalization is a vulnerable time for patients1-3 as they recover strength, learn new medication regimens, and coordinate follow-up care. A variety of postdischarge care management strategies aim to bridge gaps in care and identify needs early, often with the goal of reducing subsequent use of acute care resources.4,5Keywords
