A Care Management Use Case: Correlation Detection between Dental Claiming Patterns and Overall Cost of Care by Participant

Green Shield Canada (GSC) is going to achieve the capability of data analytics in order to make data-driven decisions in various care management use case scenarios. One of these use cases is to detect specific patterns and associations between dental hygiene and health care costs of the individuals covered by them, predict points of intervention and deliver operational recommendations for its own organization as well as other related ones, such as the patients, health professionals and policy makers, in the form of cost-benefits analysis and other required prescriptions. For this purpose, we use their big datasets including claimants’ information, apply data mining and machine learning methods to find hidden patterns and correlations, predict individuals’ costs related to this specific use case in the future, and provide useful recommendations to GSC.
