Key Points Question Can a readmission risk assessment score be developed to apply to all children that could be implemented in real time in the electronic health record (EHR)? Findings In this prognostic study that included 48 019 admissions, a suite of 3 age- and utilization-specific models was developed and validated with ongoing length of stay, use of specific therapies, and past utilization as predictive factors for all-cause 30-day readmission. Performance ranged from acceptable to excellent. Meaning These findings suggest that validated models can subsequently be implemented into the EHR using readily available EHR data to reliably identify readmission risk.
