Understanding Risk Scores

Neurithum uses advanced AI to calculate patient risk scores. This guide explains how to interpret them.

What Are Risk Scores?

Risk scores are numerical values (0-100) that indicate the likelihood of adverse events for a patient. Higher scores indicate higher risk.

Risk Score Categories

• Low Risk (0-30): Green indicator, routine monitoring
• Moderate Risk (31-60): Yellow indicator, increased attention
• High Risk (61-80): Orange indicator, proactive intervention recommended
• Critical Risk (81-100): Red indicator, immediate action required

Factors Considered

Our AI analyzes multiple data points:

• Vital signs and trends
• Laboratory results
• Medication history
• Diagnoses and comorbidities
• Historical patterns
• Social determinants of health

Using Risk Scores Effectively

1. Prioritize Patients: Focus on high-risk patients first
2. Identify Trends: Watch for score changes over time
3. Investigate Factors: Understand what's driving the score
4. Document Actions: Record interventions taken

Risk Score Alerts

Configure alerts to notify you when:

• A patient's score crosses a threshold
• Score increases by more than X points in Y hours
• Multiple patients in a unit become high-risk
