Abstract: A method and system for determining a functionality level of dialysis patients for assessing parameters and timing of care. In one embodiment, the method includes extracting patient data from one or databases corresponding to a pool of patients having end stage renal disease (ESRD); using a predictive model with the extracted patient data to generate, for each of the patients in the pool of patients, a respective patient functional status score; identifying a subset of the pool of patients having a respective patient functional status score that is lower than a predetermined threshold value and/or a patient functional status score that is trending downwards; and based on the identified subset of the pool of patients, providing one or more treatment plans, wherein the treatment plans include at least one of (a) commencing one of an interventional treatment plan, or (b) commencing palliative and/or hospice care, or (c) combinations thereof.
