CAT has integrated the Predictive Risk model i.e. the Risk Stratification Algorithm Developed by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) helping identify patients at risk of hospitalization in the next 12 months.
Risk Stratification is available in two formats.
- Risk Stratification Filter – Applicable with existing CAT reports
- Risk Stratification Report – Bifurcating the patient populations into 6 different ranges.
CSIRO Risk Stratification Algorithm
- CSIRO developed a risk stratification tool for hospitalization in Australia using primary care data.
- Risk Stratification helps you to analyse the risk of hospitalization of the patients considering their existing/active pathology test results, conditions, medications, and physiology.
- The probability of the patient cohort being hospitalized ranges from 0-1 (analysing the risk score depends on the end user). In CAT, hospitalization ranging from 0-1 is converted into percentages in order to make the risk stratification score more comprehensible.
- The prediction model is designed for Australian primary care practices to identify patients with chronic conditions in their patient population that are at high risk of hospitalization over the next 12 months.
Risk Stratification Score(%)
Risk Stratification Score(%) Filter can be applied on existing CAT reports. To use:
- Expand the Filter option available in CAT
- in 'General' tab, enter values in the “From” and “To” boxes ranging between 0-100% in 'Risk Stratification Score(%)' to get the patient cohort that is at risk of hospitalisation.
- For instance, From 5% and To 39% and click the “Recalculate” button. Now you will get a patient population that is at risk of hospitalisation ranging between 5% to 39%. All the reports in CAT will reflect the same patient population.
