Higher Frequency of Acute OT Services Is Associated With Reduced Hospital Readmissions

Date Presented 04/01/2022 Reducing hospital readmissions is a top priority in the U.S. health care system. OT has yet to clearly demarcate its role in reducing hospital readmissions. This study aimed to fill this gap. We identified that higher frequency of acute OT services was associated with reduced odds of readmission for patients. Also, patients who were not readmitted to the hospital were more likely to receive training focused on activities of daily living.
