Overview

Predictive Modeling in health care is a process involving assessment and adjustment of risk and behavior, applied to a given population based upon available data for purposes of stratifying that population according to their future probabilities of incurring a given outcome or behavior. The purpose of Predictive Modeling is to risk stratify a population to identify individual opportunities for intervention or action before the projected outcome as occurred.

Predictive Modeling requires an existing data repository, in which data is mined, and selection of a specific modeling tool to apply to the historical timeframe to predict outcomes for an alternative timeframe. Traditional data sources may include individual demographics, pharmacy and medical claims data, lab values, health risk assessment data, and other clinical data.

The Predictive Modeling Web Summit provides a unique means to obtaining current trends, issues and solutions on key predictive modeling topics from leading national experts.
