Key Points Question Is a 30-day, automated text message–based transitional care management program associated with a reduction in readmissions or emergency department visits after hospital discharge? Findings In this cohort study, an automated text message–based program was associated with a statistically significant 41% lower odds of 30-day use of acute care resources.
