"Predictive modeling
certainly can be used to identify patients/members who would be likely
candidates for wellness and other disease management programs. This is
done through a two-step process of analyzing health risk assessments,
preferably completed by the patients themselves, in conjunction with
historical lab test results to see what the trend is, and other data
such as ICD9 diagnosis codes, and then this information is matched to
patient satisfaction surveys such as the SF12 and SF36. The only thing
holding this back is the lack of patient satisfaction data and health
risk assessment data, more than the EHR and claims-based clinical data....The problem in trying to use predictive modeling
to generate a ‘likely candidate list’ is getting data with which to
indicate ‘willingness.’ If patient-generated health risk assessment and
satisfaction data aren’t present, finding correlations between variables
that would serve as surrogates for a patient’s willingness to change his
or her behavior is going to be difficult.” Lawrence S. Borok, President,
Vantage Point Healthcare Information Systems |
