Description
The LACE index identifies patients that are at risk for readmission or death within thirty days of discharge. It incorporates four parameters (length of stay, acuity of admission, co-morbidities, and ER department visits within the last six months). The LACE score reflects the predicted rate of readmission or death within thirty days of discharge.
