What is A Systematic Approach to Detect Hierarchical Healthcare Cost Drivers and Interpretable Change Patterns about?

There is strong interest among payers to identify emerging healthcare cost drivers to support early intervention. However, many challenges arise in analyzing large, high dimensional, and noisy healthcare data. In this paper, we propose a systematic approach that utilizes hierarchical and multi-resolution search strategies using enhanced statistical process control (SPC) algorithms to surface high impact cost drivers. Our approach aims to provide interpretable, detailed, and actionable insights of detected change patterns attributing to multiple demographic and clinical factors. We also proposed an algorithm to identify comparable treatment offsets at the population level and quantify the cost impact on their utilization changes.
