CLINICAL PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method implemented on a computer, for building predictive models for the estimation of adverse health likelihood, comprising:
- identifying a set of candidate model risk variables that are associated with an adverse outcome type;
constructing, utilizing the computer, an outcome likelihood model form that estimates the likelihood of the adverse outcome type using risk variables that are selected from the set of candidate model risk variables;
classifying each of the selected risk variables into either a baseline group or a dynamic group, wherein;
the baseline group is composed of those selected risk variables that are non-modifiable based on medical care that is provided to a patient; and
the dynamic group is composed of those selected risk variables that are modifiable based on the medical care that is provided to the patient;
constructing, utilizing the computer, dynamic risk variable model forms that predict values for the selected risk variables in the dynamic group as a function of at least one of the risk variables in the baseline group;
constructing, utilizing the computer, a baseline outcome likelihood model form associated with the adverse outcome type using the outcome likelihood model form and the dynamic risk variable model forms;
constructing, utilizing the computer, a dynamic outcome likelihood model form associated with the adverse outcome type using the outcome likelihood model form and at least one of the selected risk variables; and
fitting the constructed outcome likelihood model form, baseline outcome likelihood model form, and dynamic outcome likelihood model form, to a training data set that includes both outcome data and data values that correspond to the selected risk variables to produce an outcome likelihood model, a baseline outcome likelihood model, and a dynamic outcome likelihood model, which are used as scoring functions to compute a baseline outcome likelihood and a dynamic outcome likelihood for patient data that is not represented in the training data set.

Abstract
Predictive models are built for the estimation of adverse health likelihood by identifying candidate model risk variables, constructing a model form for an outcome likelihood model that estimates the likelihood of an adverse outcome type using a group of risk variables selected from the set of candidate model risk variables and by classifying each selected risk variable into either a baseline group or a dynamic group. Additionally, predictive models are built by constructing separate baseline and dynamic outcome likelihood model forms and by fitting the constructed model forms to a training data set to produce final models to be used as scoring functions that compute a baseline outcome likelihood and a dynamic outcome likelihood for patient data that is not represented in the training data set. The predictive models can be used with alerting and attribution algorithms to predict the likelihood of an adverse outcome for individuals receiving care.
