Regression Modeling System Using Activation Rating Values as Inputs to a Regression to Predict Healthcare Utilization and Cost and/or Changes Thereto

摘要

In a regression modeling system, activation rating values over a plurality of survey participants is used to generate a regression to identify a predictive model that can have a direct explanatory relationship to healthcare utilization and cost. The activation rating for a given individual is thus a predictive variable that can be changed with a known effect on outcomes. For example, healthcare utilization and costs will decline as an activation rating value goes up.

1. A computer-implemented method for modeling, using a computer system, to predict healthcare utilization and cost based upon a person's activation rating, wherein the activation rating is a variable representing, as a number, the person's self-management ability or activation score, the method comprising:
obtaining activation-rating values over a plurality of survey participants; generating a regression to identify a predictive model that can have a direct explanatory relationship to healthcare utilization and cost; and outputting results.
