Abstract

The LACE index (1) is used by Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust to refer patients to a Virtual Ward, providing post discharge support with a view to preventing readmissions. Derivation of the LACE index found the Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) predictive of readmission; conditions in the CCI are likely to be treated with medication.
