Abstract

The Hilltop Pre-DC Model™—which generates the rankings for the Severe Diabetes Complications (Pre-DC) scores—is designed to facilitate the active management of type 2 diabetes by estimating individuals’ risk of incurring inpatient admissions or emergency department (ED) visits for severe diabetes complications. The Pre-DC Model provides risk scores and reasons for risk for all attributed beneficiaries of Maryland Primary Care Program (MDPCP) practices every month to help care teams proactively identify high-risk individuals and allocate scarce care management resources.
