How does it work?
Risk-Adjustment uses sophisticated modern mathematical techniques to
account for different patient characteristics, or variables, that commonly
influence outcomes. Using the risk-adjustment model, the influence of each
patient variable is accounted for by “adjusting” (adding or subtracting) the
influence of each of the variables.
