CRSH named top ten hospital with lowest preventable readmission rate

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – A local hospital is being recognized nationally.

According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Med Center Health’s Commonwealth Regional Specialty Hospital in Bowling Green has the lowest preventable readmission rate among all long-term acute care hospitals.

CRSH is in the top 2.4% of all hospitals for preventable readmission rate.

“Having a low preventable readmission rate means that the patients we serve are less likely to be readmitted to the hospital within 30 days of discharging from CRSH,” said Seth Smith, Administrator at CRSH. “Essentially, we provide exceptional care that improves our patients’ conditions, and when combined with our discharge process, our patients leave the hospital at the right time, confident the need for re-admission is very unlikely.”

The data was collected between October 1, 2021, and September 30, 2023.
