Patients’ Post-Discharge Treatment Outcomes are measurements of how well patients are doing after they leave treatment and care. A primary goal of obtaining and reporting post-discharge treatment outcomes is to show whether our treatment and care effects positive change for patients, once they complete treatment and leave the controlled environment of our Inpatient setting.
We think we have a responsibility to monitor and measure the effectiveness of our services and programs, and to make that information transparent. In obtaining and analyzing post-discharge data, we can improve our services and programs; better inform our patients and their families; convey the data to our universe of stakeholders, which we do publicly via tullyhill.com; and better understand how our discharged patients have been responding to our treatment services and programs.
It’s important to note that the data collected, analyzed and being reported are completely de-identified from Protected Health Information and all other patient identifiers.
For all of 2021, we collected, analyzed and are posting data specific to the following post-discharge indicators of treatment outcome:
- Number of participants in 2021 who participated in post-discharge outcome collection
- Percentage of eligible patients who completed the survey
- Quality of life status (good/very good)
- Employment status (full-/part-time)
- Post-discharge level of care status
- Number of ER / hospital visits since discharge
- Number of Incidents with law enforcement since discharge
- Frequency of tobacco use since discharge
Our post-discharge treatment outcomes are measured and reported for six, specific, post-discharge time periods, i.e., 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after discharge.
Tully Hill will make post-discharge treatment outcomes available on an annual basis, for 2022 and each year thereafter.
