[Application of the Community Assessment Risk Screen in Primary Care centres of the Valencia Health System.]

CONCLUSIONS: CARS does not properly identify the population at high risk of hospital readmission. However, if it could be revised and the positive predictive value improved, it could be incorporated into the Primary Care computer systems and be useful in the initial screening and grouping of chronic patients at risk of hospital readmission.
