Abstract: Machine-learning concepts for detecting and visualizing healthcare fraud, waste, and abuse risk using a data driven decision and investigations support system. The concepts comprise an analytic core that processes a large amount of data, generates an overall risk score, and ranks healthcare providers and/or members. The overall risk score is an integrated score encompassing multiple categories of risk. The multiple categories of risk factors include multiple definitions of what defines risk, allowing for a synergistic effect between the risk analytics, where the overall effect of the combination is greater than the sum of the effects of any one definition of risky behavior by a provider or member. Utilizing this approach a unique risk profile of healthcare providers and members is generated and visualized to the user. Various embodiments further encompass a user interface that comprises linked panels that display targeted information regarding providers and members.
