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

Project Re-Engineered Discharge is a series of Randomized Controlled Trials at Boston University Medical Center.  Each phase of Project RED is aimed at improving patient safety by recreating the process by which patients leave the hospital.  Participants in Project RED receive treatment at an urban hospital that tends to serve a low-income, ethnically diverse population.  The Project RED intervention is founded on 11 discrete, mutually reinforcing components.  A specially trained nurse called a Discharge Advocate introduces the intervention to the RED participant.
