A predictive analytics approach to reducing avoidable hospital readmission
Issac Shams, Saeede Ajorlou, Kai Yang
Hospital readmission has become a critical metric of quality and cost of healthcare. Medicare anticipates that nearly $17 billion is paid out on the 20% of patients who are readmit…
Predicting patient risk of readmission with frailty models in the Department of Veteran Affairs
Saeede Ajorlou, Issac Shams, Kai Yang
Reducing potentially preventable readmissions has been identified as an important issue for decreasing Medicare costs and improving quality of care provided by hospitals. Based on…
A multivariate hierarchical Bayesian framework for healthcare predictions with application to medical home study in the Department of Veteran Affairs
Issac Shams, Saeede Ajorlou, Kai Yang
Recently the patient centered medical home (PCMH) model has become a popular approach to deliver better care to patients. Current research shows that the most important key for suc…
Estimating Multiple Step Shifts in a Gaussian Process Mean with an Application to Phase I Control Chart Analysis
Issac Shams, Saeede Ajorlou, Kai Yang
In preliminary analysis of control charts, one may encounter multiple shifts and/or outliers especially with a large number of observations. The following paper addresses this prob…
Modeling clustered non-stationary Poisson processes for stochastic simulation inputs
Issac Shams, Saeede Ajorlou, Kai Yang
A validated simulation model primarily requires performing an appropriate input analysis mainly by determining the behavior of real-world processes using probability distributions.…
