A clinical classification framework for identifying persons with high social and medical needs: The COMPLEXedex-SDH.

First-generation algorithms resulted in high-cost features as a representation of need but unintentionally introduced systemic bias based on prior ability to access care. Improved precision health approaches are needed to reduce bias and improve health equity. To integrate nursing expertise into a c...

      ab: First-generation algorithms resulted in high-cost features as a representation of need but unintentionally introduced systemic bias based on prior ability to access care. Improved precision health approaches are needed to reduce bias and improve health equity. To integrate nursing expertise into a clinical definition of high-need cases and develop a clinical classification algorithm for implementing nursing interventions. Two-phase retrospective, descriptive cohort study using 2019 data to build the algorithm (n = 19,20,848) and 2021 data to test it in adults ≥18 years old (n = 15,99,176). The COMPLEXedex-SDH algorithm identified the following populations: cross-cohort needs (10.9%); high-need persons (cross-cohort needs and other social determinants) (17.7%); suboptimal health care utilization for persons with medical complexity (13.8%); high need persons with suboptimal health care utilization (6.2%). The COMPLEXedex-SDH enables the identification of high-need cases and value-based utilization into actionable cohorts to prioritize outreach calls to improve health equity and outcomes. • Our clinical algorithm identifies high-need persons using nursing expertise. • High need considers chronic illness, social needs, and value-based health care use. • The COMPLEXedex-SDH clinical algorithm shifts the paradigm away from the cost of care. • Nurses can use this novel algorithm to improve health equity and outcomes. • Value-based definitions improve outreach to those with health-related social needs.
