Prediction of Future Health Care Utilization

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

Psychosocial factors are known to have adverse health impacts, but are rarely measured; using natural language processing, we extracted factors that identified a higher risk segment of older adults with multimorbidity. We find these extracted features are highly predictive of future emergency department visits and hospitalizations, although only marginal prediction gains are seen compared to other models without these factors. Combining these extraction techniques with other measures of social determinants may help catalyze population health efforts to mitigate these health impacts.
