The present invention relates to a system and method for automated
extraction and display of past health care use to aid in predicting
future health status. A system and method that converts raw medical and
pharmacy claims data into Hierarchical Major Clinical Condition (HMCC)
and Place of Treatment (POT) time-series data to facilitate the health
assessment of a member's total clinical conditions and aid in predicting
his or her future health status. The HMCC categories are organized in
body systems and likely disease progression to permit both
spatio-temporal digital signal processing and the development of a
dynamical learning system. Each medical and pharmacy claim of the member
is mapped onto one or more HMCC/POT-time cells. At the end of mapping,
multiple entries in each HMCC-time cell are accumulated with the temporal
resolution determined as a function of group size and temporal fidelity
required for model building.
