Risk Levels

Risk levels group risk scores into meaningful categories to help with prioritization and decision-making. You can set risk levels for any Risk Model and define:

  • The number of levels a Risk Model has
  • The name of each level (for example, “Low risk” or “High risk”)
  • The color used to represent each level
  • The score ranges that determine which level a patient falls into

This flexibility allows health centers to align risk levels with their own care workflows and priorities.

How risk levels work

Each risk level represents a range of risk scores. When a patient’s risk score is calculated, it is assigned to the risk level whose range includes that score.

When defining risk levels, you can:

  • Name the level
  • Set a maximum score. Note: The highest risk level has no upper limit.
  • Assign a color

Risk level ranges follow these rules:

  • Maximum values are exclusive. The risk level includes scores up to but not including the maximum.
  • Minimum values are inclusive. The risk level’s minimum score is the previous level’s maximum, and it is inclusive.
