Rising risk: Maximizing the odds for care management
The MARA Rising Risk model arose from the need for a more precise method to proactively identify individuals for early intervention and care management that promotes appropriate and efficient use of limited resources.
Abstract
managing care for high-cost patients especially cost bloomers, who may disproportionately benefit from interventions to mitigate future high-cost years -can be an effective way to simultaneously improve quality and reduce population health 1 The MARA Rising Risk model arose from the need for a more precise method to proactively identify individuals for early intervention and care management that promotes appropriate and efficient use of limited resources. Rising Risk specifically focuses on predicting the individuals who are likely to have greater health care needs and higher expenditures near term, as compared to the current level of expenditures.
