Can Meal Delivery After Hospital Stays Cut Readmissions?
Original: Can Home Food Delivery After a Hospital Stay Keep Readmissions Down?
Duke University is examining whether providing home food delivery to patients after they leave hospital can reduce readmission rates. The idea is that adequate nutrition during recovery may improve health outcomes and keep patients from returning to the hospital. The question is drawing attention as health systems look for practical, low-cost ways to support patients after discharge.
Why now: Health systems are actively searching for interventions that reduce costly hospital readmissions, making post-discharge nutrition a timely topic.
