Major Healthcare Provider Case Study

The provider needed a solution to stratify patient populations using a comprehensive approach that incorporated clinical, claims, and social determinants of health data. Existing methods relied on retrospective analysis, which failed to offer timely interventions for at-risk patients. The lack of integration between disparate data sources resulted in missed opportunities for preventative care. As a result, preventable hospital readmissions continued to drive up operational costs and strain care teams.

The healthcare provider implemented predictive risk models using gradient boosting techniques to analyze multiple data sources, including clinical records, claims data, and social determinants of health. These models were integrated into the organization’s electronic health record (EHR) system, enabling real-time patient risk stratification. By providing actionable insights, the solution allowed care teams to prioritize high-risk patients and intervene proactively. As a result, the provider reduced readmissions, optimized resource allocation, and improved overall patient outcomes.
