Using Technology to Improve Health Outcomes  

Ìý

At º£½ÇÂÒÂ×, we are investing in applying artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) technologies to improve the health of our members and contain rising healthcare costs. We recognize the need to use these powerful AI/ML models carefully and responsibly to turn data into knowledge, help address member needs and save lives. In addition to its predictive uses for our Choose Tomorrow suicide prevention and HALO substance use disorder programs, AI/ML is built into the following innovative, care-focused initiatives at º£½ÇÂÒÂ×:

  • Start Smart for your Baby® — ÌýAI models assist in predicting both low birth weight deliveries and maternal complications.Ìý

  • Readmission Reduction Program — AI modeling assigns a probability of having a potentially preventable readmission within 30 days of discharge to each member currently in an acute inpatient facility. Ìý

  • Neighborhood, Economic and Social Traits (NEST) — Machine learning technologies are used as a supplement to member, provider and partner data to help care managers identify those members who are most at risk of adverse health outcomes influenced by social drivers of health.Ìý
