Percent of AHF admissions generally described as low and high risk, as well as projected resource savings after changes in admission rate. Beyond the clinical challenge of identifying high-risk versus low-risk patients safe for discharge, the much larger volume of those at low-risk allows for significantly smaller changes to have the same impact in resource savings.
