SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ASSESSING PATIENT READMISSION RISK AND SELECTING POST-ACUTE CARE INTERVENTION

摘要

Techniques for determining and outputting post-acute care recommendations that use information that is available when a patient is admitted, which is obtained through patient questionnaires and automatically-extracted patient history data, to determine a risk score and/or recommend post-acute care. Such techniques may be incorporated into systems, methods and computer program products for determining and outputting post-acute care recommendations based upon readmission risk scores. For example, a sample process for determining and outputting recommendations may include receiving admission data relating to a patient, receiving assessment information regarding the patient, determining a readmission risk score for the patient, determining a post-acute care recommendation for the patient based on the readmission risk score and one or more patient covariates, and outputting the post-acute care recommendation.
