Abstract
Reducing 30-Day Readmissions Through Nurse-Led Discharge Coaching highlights how structured, nurse-led coaching at discharge can help patients better understand their care plan, medications, warning signs, and follow-up steps. By reinforcing education with teach-back, addressing barriers at home, and ensuring clear care coordination, this approach supports safer transitions from hospital to home and aims to reduce avoidable readmissions within 30 days.
