Rural Georgia-based ACO Reduces Avoidable Admissions by 4% Using Prescriptive AI to Focus Proactive Care on the Most Impactable Patients
Learn how a rural MSSP ACO with limited resources and small teams spread across the region reduced avoidable admissions amongst a challenging population. Discover how the ACO integrated AI and a care management module into its workflow. The integration saved staff time by streamlining chart reviews and predicting the patients who are at risk of an admission within the next 30 days, along with recommended interventions.
Results:
- Intervention versus matched control group analysis shows a 4% absolute reduction in admissions in the intervention group
- 130 admissions avoided, $2 Million in costs avoided
- Increased staff productivity with 41 hrs saved per week (1 FTE)
“At first I was skeptical of using an AI model to identify our highest-risk patients. But as I started doing outreach, I was amazed by how accurate the risk predictions and recommended actions were. The model helped me proactively address issues before they became emergencies, which made me feel like I was finally able to make a real difference for these patients.”
