ABSTRACT
This research seeks to assess the potential of regionally integrated health management for specific sub-populations, including the incorporation of self-management initiatives. It will achieve this by conducting a thorough stratification analysis of hospital data, utilizing the Adjusted Clinical Groups (ACG) classification system. The approach involves a retrospective review of healthcare data spanning five years, which includes patient demographics, health outcomes, and healthcare utilization metrics. We intend to use the ACG method to classify the patient population into pertinent groups that mirror their health requirements and resource use. The insights obtained from this analysis will be used to create a localized adaptation of the Kaiser Permanente Pyramid Model of Care. This adaptation aims to identify the distribution of costs among patients treated in the Rivierenland Hospital. We anticipate that stratifying data with the ACG method will identify distinct multimorbid subgroups. These subgroups will have unique healthcare requirements. Early interventions and customized health management strategies, based on these insights, could enhance health outcomes and resource efficiency for high-risk patients. This analysis will serve as a foundation for constructive discussions with hospital management and clinical staff, fostering a deeper comprehension of the patients' burden of disease. It might also foster multidisciplinary collaboration opportunities between medical specialties as with regional healthcare partners such as general practitioners (GPs), mental health and other long-term care organizations. Moreover, we anticipate that self-care initiatives, supported by customized health information, will encourage increased patient engagement and strategies for enhancing lifestyle improvements. This strategy is expected to enable the personalization of advanced care planning based on individual needs profiles, thereby improving the management of complex and chronic conditions, and encouraging self-care practices. Our anticipated findings highlight the potential benefits of a data-informed approach to advancing healthcare outcomes and present opportunities for future investigations to refine and implement such integrated care models across the region.
