Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-storage media are provided for determining an individual's second event risk score where the second event risk score represents a likelihood that the individual will experience the second event within a predetermined time period after the occurrence of a first event. Upon occurrence of the first event, a sampling protocol is initiated where an electronic medical record store is accessed on a predetermined schedule to sample a pre-selected set of medical data elements for the individual. Logistic regression analysis is executed on the pre-selected set of medical data elements to generate a second event risk score for the individual. The second event risk score is communicated to a medical professional managing the medical care of the individual, and the individual's electronic medical record is modified to reflect the second event risk score.
