Abstract:
A method for admitting a patient includes creating an inpatient value set by collecting a respective value for each of a plurality of datapoints about the patient. The inpatient value set can then be compared with an historical dataset, the dataset representing a plurality of other patients each having a respective corresponding value set for the plurality of datapoints associated with a respective set of utilization management information. Based on the comparison, a particular set of utilization management information that is associated with a particular corresponding value set which is substantially the same as the inpatient value set is identified within the historical dataset. Ultimately, based on the particular set of utilization management information, a predicted length of stay for the patient is calculated.
