Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for modifying a patient adherence score, comprising: obtaining from one or more computer-readable storage devices patient profiles in a patient population, each of the patient profiles including multiple patient attributes and each patient attribute including a value; obtaining an adherence score for each patient profile from among the patient profiles in the patient population, the adherence score for predicting patient adherence based on one or more of the multiple patient attributes, wherein the adherence score indicates a likelihood of adherence of a patient associated with the patient profile to a prescribed treatment; determining first modifiers for a first application for each of the patient profiles in the patient population; applying each of the first modifiers associated with the first application for each of the patient profiles in the patient population to modify each of the respective adherence scores obtained for each of the first patient profiles in the patient population into first modified scores for the first application; generating a stratification index of the patient profiles in the patient population based on the first modified scores for the first application; grouping the patient profiles into two or more groups based on a rank in the stratification index; determining second modifiers for a second application for each of the patient profiles in one of the groups; modifying the first modified scores for each of the patient profiles from the one of the groups into second modified scores using the second modifiers for each of the patient profiles from the one of the groups; sub-grouping the patient profiles from the one of the groups into sub-groups based on the second modified scores; and managing the patient profiles from the one of the groups based on the respective sub-groups to which the patient profiles belong.
