For more than a decade, MEDai’s Risk Navigator Clinical(TM) has accurately identified prospective high-risk patients to improve patients’ health and quality of care while controlling cost. The advantage of MEDai’s prediction engine is its use of the right combination of linear and non-linear models to correctly “fit” the characteristics of the client’s population. Without eliminating outliers -- the very events clients want to predict -- Risk Navigator Clinical consistently yields the highest accuracy available as evidenced by their performance in The Association for Computing Machinery’s Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (ACM KDD) competition.
“MEDai is very excited to be hosting this symposium and providing healthcare constituents with information that will help them enhance their existing care management programs, control costs, and improve the quality of care being delivered to consumers,” said Steve Epstein, President and CEO of MEDai.
