Method and system for tracking health statistics in consolidated markets

A computerized method for determining a market consolidation strategy for a healthcare market, the method comprising:

• identifying, by a processor, a plurality of healthcare regions comprising healthcare providers;
• accessing, by the processor, at least one database comprising a plurality of healthcare statistics of a plurality of patients in the plurality of healthcare regions;
• calculating, by the processor, a consolidation index for each of the healthcare regions, wherein the consolidation index indicates a level of diversity of the healthcare providers in each of the healthcare regions;
• calculating, by the processor, a correlation of at least one care factor of the healthcare statistics to the consolidation index of each of the plurality of healthcare regions;
• generating, by the processor, a consolidation influence model for the at least one care factor based on the correlation, wherein the consolidation influence model identifies a relationship between the at least one care factor and the consolidation index among the plurality of healthcare regions;
• and
• receiving, by the processor, an indication of a healthcare region of interest;
• calculating, by the processor, based on the consolidation influence model, a consolidation prediction for the healthcare region of interest;
• and
• controlling, by the processor, an output of the consolidation prediction via a reporting interface.

A computer program product for modeling a difference in healthcare related to a level of market consolidation of a healthcare region, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to:

• identify, by the processor, a plurality of healthcare regions comprising healthcare providers;
• access healthcare statistics of a plurality of patients in the plurality of healthcare regions;
• access, by the processor, a consolidation index for each of the healthcare regions;
• calculate, by the processor, a correlation of at least one care factor of the healthcare statistics to the consolidation index for the plurality of healthcare regions;
• generate, by the processor, a consolidation influence model for the at least one care factor based on the correlation, wherein the consolidation influence model identifies a statistical relationship between the at least one care factor and the consolidation index among the plurality of healthcare regions;
• and
• predict, by the processor, applying the consolidation influence model, a change in the at least one care factor in an identified healthcare region based on a prospective change in the consolidation index in the identified healthcare region.
