Predicting Risk of Hospitalization and Death SD Fihn MD MPH Office of Analytics and Business Intelligence Veterans Health Administration June 2016

Care Assessment Need (CAN) Score • Initial CAN developed from data on 4.5M veterans enrolled in primary care using standard and multinomial (polytomous) logistic regression (Wang L, et al. Med Care 2013;51:368-73) – ~90 input variables from 7 domains in corporate data warehouse • CAN 2.0 deployed in 2016 – Reduced to 36 input variables including composite SES index derived from US CENSUS American Community Survey plus Rank & Service Branch from VA/DOD Identity repository . – Improved concordance (C-statistic) and calibration – Weekly report provides CAN scores & probabilities for 3 outcomes at 90d and 1yr: Mortality, Hospitalization, Mortality or Hospitalization VETERANS HEALTH ADMINISTRATION 2

Predictive Accuracy Hospitalization - 1 year 0.81 Hospitalization - 90 day 0.83 Mortality - 1 year 0.85 Mortality - 90 day 0.87 Veterans in highest %ile of risk have 58% probability of admission, 23% probability of death, and 64% probability of either event. VETERANS HEALTH ADMINISTRATION
