Benefits of technology

[0011] According to one advantage, the invention enables interested parties to predict likely healthcare costs for an upcoming period. According to certain implementations, the invention enables the projection of healthcare costs over a period of at least about 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months, or greater than about 12 months.
[0012] According to another advantage, the inven

Embodiment Construction

[0037] As described above in the summary, the invention is generally directed to systems and methods that identify patients who have a predicted susceptibility and / or level of risk (e.g., more risk or less risk or a selected range of risk) to certain event risks and / or are associated with certain levels of financial risk, thereby facilitating the establishment of intervention plans to mitigate the healthcare event risks for patients and financial risks for patients and / or healthcare providers.

[0038] In one embodiment, predictive modeling is employed because it has the potential to reduce healthcare costs and / or spending while assisting patients by helping MCOs, insurers, or other providers identify patients who are most likely to incur future surgical and / or diagnostic events, and target specialized interventions to assist such existing patients, or new enrollees. Predictive modeling may also allow MCOs, insurers, or other providers to identify which patients will likely consume th...

Abstract

A system for predicting healthcare risk events including the process of accessing patient data associated with one or more patents, accessing geographic and healthcare system data, filtering the patient data, geographic data, and healthcare system data into clean data, and applying a predictive risk model to the clean data to generate patient profile data and to identify a portion of the patients susceptible to one or more risk events.
