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.
Calculator Configuration Options
Preference Name | Valid Range | Description |
---|---|---|
Publishing | Checked / Unchecked | When checked the calculator will display for users on the front end. When unchecked, the calculator WILL NOT display for users on the front end. |
Orderable Item Override | (BLANK) / G-LACE | “(BLANK)” indicates that the global configuration options for Orderable Item will be used. “G-LACE” indicates that the calculator specific value will be used and can display the specific calculator name in the output. |
Show Full Questions in Annotations | True / False | True will enable the display of the full calculator input question text (rather than Q1, Q2, etc.) in the result output annotations. False will disable the display of the full calculator input question text and display the question numbers and answers only in the result output annotations. |
