Impacts of Health Care Literacy on 30-Day Readmissions for COPD Patient at Saint Louis University Hospital

"The purpose of our study is to determine if connecting with discharged COPD patients via Zoom, FaceTime or phone call twice per week for 30 days, will reduce all-cause 30 day readmission vs. standard discharge education. We called patients twice a week for 30 days. We measured their health literacy and watched how that, along with frequent follow up decreased their readmissions in the period of one month."
