Project RED (Re-Engineered Discharge)
..............................................................

Project RED is a Randomized Controlled Trial at Boston Medical Center. This project re-engineers the workflow process and improves patient safety for patients from a network of Community Health Centers discharged from a general medical service at an urban hospital serving a low-income, ethnically diverse population. The "Re-engineered Hospital Discharge" (Project RED) intervention provides a set of 11 discrete, mutually reinforcing components provided by a Discharge Advocate and re-enforced by a telephone call after discharge by a clinical pharmacist.
