ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for categorizing health care utilization provides an efficient aid in identifying patients who are seeking inappropriate care. The invention involves a computer system having a neural network responsive to several input variables to categorize the utilization characteristics of the patient. The input variables define selected characteristics of a patient. In one embodiment, a screening process identifies patients who are at high risk to an immediate threat to their health and eliminates those least likely to be seeking inappropriate care.
