Risk Models Overview

Relevant’s Risk Models module allows users to create and manage multiple risk stratification models. Risk stratification helps health centers algorithmically segment their patients into groups that can help optimize the quality of care that they receive. Some ways health centers may use risk stratification include:

• Identifying candidates for care management services or more intensive care support
• Informing length and frequency of appointments
• Adjusting provider panels to better accommodate high-risk patients

There are many validated risk stratification methods out there, each with strengths and weaknesses. Relevant offers add-on support for the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) through an agreement with Cornell University. Learn more about CCI here.

Relevant also allows users to create and manage their own custom Risk Models, acknowledging that health centers serve patients and communities with unique needs, and sometimes a standard doesn’t cut it. Custom Risk Models can be either Risk Factor-based or SQL-based.
