Determination of Highest Risk Patients Adult Patients
Objectives
• Describe the “highest risk” patients; the top 5%of patients most at risk for hospitalization, ER visits, and sentinel events.
• Describe the key components of the highest risk registry.
Why risk stratify? • Identify patients with high problems – address priority needs .• Maintain access to care.• Prevent unnecessary transitions in care for the patient (ER
visits and hospitalizations) – prevent sentinel events. • Utilize limited practice resources effectively.• Decrease the utilization of resources downstream• Decrease the overall cost of care – shift resources to PCP • Other??

Risk and Interventions Differentiation
• Team and Medium and High Risk Patients– Group Visits– Group Education– Follow-up care with
team
• CM and Highest Risk– Individual phone calls
to adjust insulin and review symptoms
– Specific patient action plan with hypoglycemic instructions

PCP/Medical Home Site Collaboration
• Direct referrals from PCP• Review high risk list with PCP’s• Medical Home support staff referrals
Predictive Molding
• Predictive analytics is the branch of data mining concerned with the prediction of future probabilities and trends.
• An insurance company is likely to take into account potential driving safety predictors such as age, gender, and driving record when issuing car insurance policies.
• Multiple predictors are combined into a predictive model, which, when subjected to analysis, can be used to forecast future probabilities

Predictive Modeling
Process for Determining Highest Risk Patients
• All patients that are post discharge are at high risk for readmission.
• Review all list with PCP to identify which patients need intervention or fit criteria for Complex Case Management.
