Readmission Risk Cohort Chain AI Prompt
This chain prompt creates a full readmission-risk workflow centered on the LACE score and actual readmission outcomes. It moves from cohort definition to risk scoring, validation, profiling of high-risk patients, and practical prioritization for outreach. It is particularly helpful for organizations building or evaluating transitional care and readmission prevention programs.
Prompt text
Step 1: Define the index admission cohort — all inpatient discharges in the study period, excluding deaths, AMA discharges, and transfers to other acute facilities. Step 2: Calculate the LACE score for each patient (Length of stay, Acuity of admission, Charlson Comorbidity Index, ED visits in past 6 months). Classify: low risk (0–4), moderate (5–9), high (≥10). Step 3: Validate LACE score performance against actual 30-day readmissions in the dataset: compute AUC-ROC, sensitivity, and specificity at each risk threshold. Step 4: Profile the high-risk cohort (LACE ≥10): size, top diagnoses, demographics, payer mix, and social risk factors. Step 5: Identify which high-risk patients were not readmitted — what interventions or patient factors may have protected them? Step 6: Prioritize the top 50 patients by readmission risk for care management outreach. Return a ranked list with LACE score, primary diagnosis, payer, and suggested intervention type.
When to use this prompt
Use case 02
when you want to validate how well LACE works in your own data
Use case 03
when you need to understand what differentiates high-risk from protected patients
Use case 04
when population health teams need a ranked intervention list rather than just summary rates
What the AI should return
A full readmission-risk workflow output including index cohort definition, LACE scoring results, validation metrics, high-risk cohort profile, and a ranked outreach list with intervention suggestions.
