INTERACT programs aim to achieve which outcome?

• A. Reduced hospital readmissions
• B. Increased hospital admissions
• C. Reduced staff training
• D. Increased length of stay

Answer: (A)

INTERACT programs are built to keep residents in the familiar care setting by catching early changes in condition and managing many issues on-site or with appropriate, timely decision-making. The goal is to prevent unnecessary hospital transfers, which translates directly into fewer hospital readmissions and ED visits. It’s not about sending more people to the hospital, cutting staff training, or extending stays; the emphasis is on safer on-site care and better communication to avoid avoidable hospitalizations.
