Woburn, MA Fitzemeyer & Tocci hosted a round table panel of industry experts to develop a guide on infrastructure design for reduced patient readmissions. With today’s challenging reimbursement structures, healthcare providers can drive better bottom line performance by reducing patient readmissions. This guide provides recommendations, insight, best practices, and examples illustrating how smart infrastructure investments can help to reduce avoidable patient readmissions and ultimately improve the overall finances of a healthcare organization and the health and safety of their patients, providers and visitors.

The guide was written by Thomas Tsaros, PE and Terence Boland, PE, with help from a round table panel who offered insight and knowledge.
