What is Identifying Children with Lifelong Chronic Conditions for Care Coordination by Using Hospital Discharge Data about?
## Background: Children with lifelong chronic conditions (llcc) are costly, of low prevalence, and a high proportion of patients at children's hospitals. few methods identify these patients. ## Objectives: We sought to identify children with llcc in hospital discharge data for care coordination by using clinical risk groups (crgs), to evaluate the accuracy of this methodology compared with a chart review and to investigate accuracy according to condition groups. ## Methods: Crg software identified llcc children who receive care at a primary care clinic, odessa brown children's clinic, by using seattle children's hospital discharge data. ## Results: There were 5356 active odessa brown children's clinic patients with at least 1 clinic encounter in 2006-2007. six hundred two (11.2%) patients were admitted to seattle children's hospital, and 1703 (31.8%) were seen only in the emergency department over 7 years (2001-2007). one hundred sixty-four (7%) were identified to have a llcc. in a blind review of 200 (33.2%) children with inpatient encounters, the specificity of the crg designation to llcc was 95.0% (95% confidence interval [ci], 90.0%-98.0%), sensitivity 76.3% (95% ci, 63.4%-86.4
