Upcoming Colloquium

Mathematics Practicum and Computer Science Interim Presentations

Thursday, March 1, 2:30 in RNS 310

The BlueCross BlueShield team researched emergency department overutilization by analyzing claims information supplied by BCBS. By further analyzing the demographics and the reasons for visiting the emergency department, we were able to better understand the source of emergency department overutilization. Claims that were labeled “preventable” and could be attended to in non-emergency department settings were of particular interest to our research.
