he Project RED (Re-Engineered Discharge) training program was designed to help hospitals re-engineer their discharge process. Using the study modules and supporting materials, hospitals will become familiar with Project RED's processes and components, determine metrics for evaluating impact, and learn how to implement Project RED.
This program, developed from an AHRQ project that ran from 2009 to 2012 and based on an early version of the RED Toolkit, has been archived.

Re-Engineered Discharge (RED) Toolkit

Next PageTable of Contents
A variety of forces are pushing hospitals to improve their discharge processes to reduce readmissions. Researchers at the Boston University Medical Center (BUMC) developed and tested the Re-Engineered Discharge (RED). Research showed that the RED was effective at reducing readmissions and posthospital emergency department (ED) visits. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality contracted with BUMC to develop this toolkit to assist hospitals, particularly those that serve diverse populations, to replicate the RED.
