Components - LACE Readmission Risk Index

LACE Readmission Risk Index

AHS uses the "LACE readmission risk index" to stratify patients into those who are at low, moderate or high risk for early readmission. The index considers the patient's length of stay, admission type, comorbidities and frequency of emergency room visits. 

Most of the information needed to calculate a LACE Index is available to Connect Care in-system, and does not need to be entered by prescribers. Accordingly, an automatically calculated LACE Index is continually updated for all inpatients. 

LACE Index values are exposed in Connect Care workflows and documentation in an "interactive" format that allows users to select the score to gain popup access to additional interactive information about the score's derivation and meaning.
