Predictive Analytics: A Clinical Tool for Care Team Transformation
12:20 p.m. 1:10 p.m.
Can the use of predictive analytics help transform healthcare? We believe the answer is YES at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan. Patient interventions are often reactive based upon a visit or encounter within the clinical setting. This session will discuss the importance of having a clinical tool that offers a proactive approach to identify at-risk patients for engagement and interventions to improve quality outcomes. The BCBSM-Analytics Center of Excellence (ACOE) used techniques centered around data science, statistics, evidence-based medicine, and machine learning to develop clinical predictive models that identify patients who may be most at risk of certain chronic conditions. This session will discuss how the care team can utilize this type of clinical tool to improve operational efficiency and quality outcomes for patients.
