A health risk score calculated automatically using routine data from hospital electronic health records (EHR) systems can identify patients at high risk of unplanned hospital readmission, according to recent research published in Medical Care.
The researchers evaluated the score—called the Rothman Index—as a “practical tool” for assessing readmission risk. The Rothman Index software uses information from the hospital EHR system to provide a continuously updated score indicating the likelihood of death or readmission within 30 days.
