Patient Clustering to Know Thy Patient

Know Thy Patient is a novel approach and method for patient segmentation and clustering. Using machine learning, patient-centered programs and treatment plans are implemented due to the holistic patient analysis. By integrating and analyzing metrics associated with barriers to healthcare access such as social vulnerabilities, transportation barriers, lack of insurance coverage, and clinical data from the electronic medical record, Parkland Health leaders better understand the community and patient population they serve in the Dallas–Fort Worth area.
