Cover Story: Unplanned hospital readmissions represent a significant cost in health care. A significant percentage of readmissions could be prevented if inpatient teams were better able to predict patients at high risk of readmission. We report on the implementation of the Epic electronic health record “Unplanned readmission model version 1” and its monitoring over 2 years. This model’s predictive capability to discern high-risk discharges was reflected in the AUC/C-statistics for our three hospitals of 0.716–0.760 for all patients and 0.676–0.695 for general medicine patients. We also present our monitoring methods for the model as well as readmission reduction strategies triggered by the model. View this paper.
