magine a child and family going through four hospital readmissions in a row — one right after the other — and how disruptive those hospitalizations are to their lives. I recently was involved in a study that demonstrated that patients experiencing frequent, potentially avoidable readmissions — so-called "frequent flyers" — are a major driver of pediatric healthcare costs. These children often have very complex, chronic health conditions. It’s now our duty to take action on these findings.
