Follow on Google News | UNCHC & Forecast Health Develop Analytics Models to Identify Patients at High Risk of ReadmissionsBy: Forecast Health “This is a great story of the power of collaboration,” The Forecast Health team combined historical clinical and utilization data with data from the current hospital admission for over 66,000 patients. That data was analyzed with predictive analytics software to identify factors that influence a patient’s health risks or overall health outcomes. “Our results offer both clinical and financial benefits for patients,” explains Michael Cousins, PhD, President and Chief Analytics Officer at Forecast Health. “When care providers are able to proactively address patient needs, patients enjoy better health. And when patients do not need to return to the hospital, lots of costs are avoided. That is good news for the hospital and the patient.” Under the terms of the collaboration, Forecast Health will further develop and commercialize the predictive analytics so that patients at other hospitals can benefit from the insights produced by the collaboration.
