Comparison of the HURT and HLCC algorithms in identifying patients at risk of three or more unplanned readmissions
| Algorithm | HLCC | HURT | ||
| Prediction | Readmitted ≥3 | Readmitted <3 | Readmitted ≥3 | Readmitted <3 |
| Readmitted ≥3 | 1387 (TP) | 1494 (FP) | 1648 (TP) | 1233 (FP) |
| Readmitted <3 | 3883 (FN) | 28 037 (TN) | 3285 (FN) | 28 635 (TN) |
| Result | Sensitivity 48% | Specificity 88% | Sensitivity 57% | Specificity 90% |
FN, false-negative; FP, false-positive; HLCC, HealthLinks Chronic Care; HURT, Hospital Unplanned Readmission Tool; TN, true-negative; TP, true-positive.
