Abstract: The technology described herein relates to using predictions about patients' future health care utilization and/or outcomes (e.g., patients' expected future adherence to medication regimens) and the expected economic benefits of targeted improvements in the same utilization and/or outcomes (e.g., reduced likelihood of hospitalization attributable to more consistent medication use) to implement more effective and efficient health care improvement programs. The technology described here computes which subset of patients should be included in a value-based health care provider payment scheme and what the specific bonus payment amounts should be such that expected benefits from better patient outcomes, once realized, are greater than the expected costs of the payment scheme itself.

Abstract: The disclosed methods and systems are generally directed to the combined application of predictive analytics with clinical decision analysis to provide optimal recommendations for the implementation of various health care management programs including, for example, prescription medication adherence interventions, and providing recommendations for medication adherence interventions for individual patients, based on predictions of patient adherence and predicted or expected responses to available interventions. Such interventions may be instituted in advance of a potential negative outcome, e.g., non-adherence, to prevent or reduce the occurrence of a negative outcome and realize greater return on investment.
