Abstract: An accurate predictive model that identifies the patient/members within the healthcare system at high risk of hospital admission for a wide range of morbidities, or co-morbidities, and that allows subsequent intervention to manage those patients identified as high risk to an acceptable level. There is a further need for such a predictive model that focuses on specific groupings of conditions, e.g., behavioral health predictive modeling. There is also a need for a method that provides for intervention to manage the risk to the identified patients/members. One embodiment of the present invention discloses and claims a method of high-risk patient identification and management.
