Turn Readmission Risk Into Action
Hospital readmissions remain a significant clinical and financial challenge. Traditional risk scores often provide a number without explaining why a patient is at risk or what action should be taken. Care teams need earlier, more actionable insights so they can focus limited resources where intervention may have the greatest impact.
The Fulcrum Solution
Fulcrum Readmission Risk combines machine learning with specialized AI agents to identify patients at risk of 30-day readmission and explain the key drivers behind that risk.
The solution evaluates:
- Clinical risk and utilization history
- Medication adherence and reconciliation
- Care gaps and follow-up needs
- Social determinants of health
- Discharge readiness
Each patient receives an explainable risk assessment with prioritized risk drivers and recommended interventions.
| How It Works Patient Data -> Risk Analysis -> AI Agent Assessment -> Prioritized Risk Drivers -> Recommended Interventions Care teams can quickly identify who needs attention, why they are at risk, and where intervention may have the greatest impact. |
Business Value
Reduce Avoidable Readmissions
Identify high-risk patients early and enable targeted interventions.
Improve Care-Team Efficiency
Prioritize outreach instead of manually reviewing every discharge.
Address Multiple Risk Drivers
Combine clinical, medication, care-gap, social, and discharge factors in one assessment.
Support Quality Performance
Connect readmission prevention with relevant HEDIS care-gap workflows.
Improve Explainability
Maintain an audit trail showing how AI-generated risk assessments were produced.
Potential Impact
For a modeled hospital with 10,000 annual Medicare discharges, Fulcrum estimates:
- 8-12% potential relative reduction in preventable readmissions
- $1.9M-$2.5M indicative annual value
- Potential 5-10x first-year ROI
These estimates are based on the modeled hospital scenario and should be positioned as potential rather than guaranteed outcomes.
The Outcome
| Identify. Understand. Prioritize. Fulcrum transforms readmission risk from a static score into an actionable care-management workflow: identify high-risk patients, understand the drivers, and prioritize the right interventions. |
