Right Care Initiative Pilot Leads to 2,735 fewer hospitalizations; Could Save CA over $100 Million Annually

November 7, 2017

The Right Care Initiative has been associated with 2,735 fewer hospitalizations for heart attacks in San Diego County from 2011 to 2014. If the same 16.5% reduction of hospitalizations were achieved throughout the rest of California, there would have been approximately 5,000 fewer hospitalizations for heart attacks each year, saving over $100 million in annual payments to hospitals.
