Zusammenfassung:A system and method includes (i) providing patient data stored in a data repository, (ii) applying a first patient identification algorithm to the patient data to identify an initial group of individuals associated with select physical and health characteristics, (iii) applying a second patient identification algorithm to the patient data associated with the initial group of individuals to identify a narrower subgroup associated with select behavioral characteristics, and (iv) generating patient identifiable information from the patient data to allow for notification. The identification of the initial group is based on a determined likelihood of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) for individuals meeting or exceeding a first threshold criteria. The identification of the narrower group is based on a determined likelihood of long-term adherence to OSA treatment for individuals meeting or exceeding a second threshold criteria. The notification is of designated entities that one or more of the individuals in the narrower subgroup are preferred individuals for OSA.
