New Jersey: The Trenton Health Team (THT)- a partnership between the city and Capital Health, St. Francis Medical Center, and Henry J. Austin Health Center– reduced 30-day readmissions by 6.8% at four county hospitals from 2011 to mid-2012 by improving coordination, double-checking on medications during patient discharge, and training staff to better recognize when a patient needs to go to an ED (Duffy, Trenton Times, 2/4).
