The Issue at HandProblem
If UPH hospitals reach a certain readmission threshold, CMS will apply a penalty to insurance payments remitted to UPH hospitals for all Medicare/Medicaid patients ranging from 0-3%
ObjectiveProtocol must be developed that limits unplanned 30-day readmissions by providing (a) high-quality care and (b) financial viability
Deliverable 1-Scoring patient risk-Methodology
Deliverable 2-Cost of care plans-Effect of care plans
Deliverable 3-Protocol

Challenges with the Data• Skewed data, outliers and extreme values
Transformed variables to bring skewness closer to zero• Categorical data analysis
Categorized data into levels and created dummy variables • Dimensionality of data and collinearity among variables
Cluster analysis, variable selection • Over-fitting and over-sampling
Data partition, stratified sampling
