摘要

Providing timely access and continuity of care is one of the most essential foundations of high-performing primary care practices. However, as the population grows and life expectancy increases, the rising demand is becoming increasingly more difficult to be met by the limited primary care physician resources available today. Understanding the future demand for care and aligning it to physician capacity is crucial to ensuring access and continuity for patients. The primary objective of this study was to design physician panels that optimize access and continuity of care for patients by minimizing the discrepancy between the panel demand and physician capacity. This study utilized data mining techniques to predict future visit rates of a patient population at an academic primary care practice. These techniques include linear regression, support vector regression, LASSO regression, ridge regression, regression trees, boosted regression trees, and random forest regression trees. Primary predictors of future visit rate included patient demographic, clinical, and administrative variables. The predicted visit rates were used in the Panel Redesign Formulation in order to allocate patients and design panels that resulted in minimum probability that demand exceeds a physician's slot capacity (minimum overflow frequency). Minimum overflow frequency was used as a proxy for access and continuity in this study. The highest performing prediction model for future visit rates was the LASSO regression model (RMSE = 2.134, MAE = 1.546, and R2= 0.51). The maximum overflow frequency for panels designed using the standard expected visit count for primary care of 3 per year, the patient-specific visit count from the previous year, and the visit rate predicted by the LASSO model was 16% , 7%, 4%, and respectively. This study can help primary care practices to: (1) accurately predict the expected demand from patient populations and strategically plan for required resources; and (2) design physician panels that result in minimum overflow frequency in order to optimize access and continuity for patients.
