A new
grantee profile explores how the AHRQ-funded work of Brian Jack, M.D., a professor of family medicine at Boston University School of Medicine, lowered rates of return trips to the hospital. He developed the Re-Engineered Discharge, or RED, protocol, which uses strategies to promote safer patient care and reduce avoidable hospital readmissions. AHRQ also worked with Dr. Jack to develop an implementation-ready
toolkit and
guide for patients (in English and Spanish) to extend his work so that health providers can apply RED and address language barriers in health care communications. Check out the profile of Dr. Jack and other
AHRQ grantees who have made major advances in health services research.
