High-need phenotypes in Medicare beneficiaries: drivers of variation in utilization and outcomes.
The goal of this study was to identify distinct clinical phenotypes present within high-need Medicare beneficiaries and to examine differences in outcomes between phenotypes. Researchers identified five phenotypes and concluded that their findings represented a first step toward classifying the heterogeneity among high-need Medicare beneficiaries. They recommend further work to identify modifiable utilization patterns between phenotypes to improve the value of healthcare provided to these subpopulations.
