A system (16) assesses the readiness of a patient to be discharged from an intensive care unit (ICU), hospital or other monitored clinical care setting to a less intensively monitored location. The system (16) includes one or more processor (46). The processors (46) are programmed to receive patient data for patients. Risks of death from discharge for the patients are calculated using a first predictive model of risk of death. Further, risks of readmission from discharge for the patients are calculated using a second predictive model of risk of readmission. Risks of death and/or risks of readmission for one or more of the patients are presented to a clinician or clinicians in different groups of risk to supplement discharge decisions by clinicians.
