The objective is to assess the implementation of a computerized clinical decision support (cCDS) tool for identifying patients at high risk of unplanned readmission who could benefit from existing care programs aimed at reducing readmissions
Providers from either service, which includes attending physicians, residents, hospitalists, and advanced practice providers (APPs), will be randomly allocated to an intervention group (IG) or control group (CG). The IG will consist of placing the Epic 30-day unplanned readmission risk score in the story board of providers. If a patient is identified as having a high risk of readmission defined as readmission risk >20%, a link to transitional and supportive care services (TSC) will be appear in the story board. Providers will determine which TSC is best for the patient and may order whichever TSC is appropriate for the patient. The study team will not recommend TSCs. The risk of readmission score will be present from the time of admission for those in the IG. The CG will have the same TSC orders available to them; however, they will not have the risk of readmission score present in their workflow, as such the embedded link to TSC will also not be present.

The CG will have the same TSC orders available to them; however, they will not have the risk of readmission score present in their workflow, as such the embedded link to TSC will also not be present. Providers, in both IG and CG, will have the option to order one or multiple TSC at their discretion.
