First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a clinical decision support tool called PREVENT to help nurses prioritize which patients need homecare most urgently after leaving the hospital. Researchers studied nearly 2,000 adults with conditions like diabetes, heart failure, and lung disease to see if the tool reduced the number of patients readmitted within 60 days. The goal was to improve patient outcomes by making nurse decisions more consistent and personalized.
