Franciscan Health, Circulation Partner On Non-Emergency Transportation
Franciscan Health and Circulation are partnering to reduce hospital inpatient 30-day readmission rates. The collaboration aims to accomplish this by helping to provide non-emergency medical transportation services to appointments for consumers.
Circulation hopes to contribute to this goal by offering its digital platform, which coordinates non-emergency medical transportation. By integrating outsources transportation, owned fleets, and medical logistics services, Circulation and Franciscan Health hope to provide better transportation to appointments for consumers—an issue which was found to be the second leading cause of readmissions for the Franciscan Health system.
Franciscan Health is a 14-hospital health system . . .
