Projects at axialHealthcare
| Contribute to ongoing efforts to increase access to quality care |
axialNETWORK identifies high quality medical and behavioral healthcare providers. Mapping, descriptive, and outcome analyses will enhance the visibility and importance of these provider networks.
|
| Measuring behavioral health conditions |
What does it mean to have behavioral health conditions from a claims billing perspective? Students will mine medical and pharmacy claims data to enhance identification of patients with behavioral health conditions, and whether they are managed or unmanaged. |
| Profiling substance use disorder |
Determine whether there is a profile for diagnosis of substance use disorder (SUD) that is more appropriate for tagging people with SUD (or with a history of SUD). The idea here is that history of SUD is an important risk factor and we want to be very deliberate when assigning risk.
