What Are UHAs?

Unplanned hospital admissions (UHAs) are acute clinical events that require an urgent hospital admission. For older adults, UHAs often presage a critical turning point in their health and frequently lead to disability in activities of daily living (ADL), significantly diminishing their ability to maintain functional independence. UHAs are also associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and dramatically increased long-term care needs and costs. 


Why It Matters

Annually, an estimated 8.5 million* Medicare beneficiaries experience at least one unplanned hospital admission, and hospitalizations among older adults account for over one-third of all hospitalizations.¹ 30% of older adults hospitalized for acute events experience decline in their ability to perform ADL as a result of their hospitalization, and for many, it is permanent.² Patients discharged with new or additional ADLs are also approximately 20% more likely to die within one year.³ 

More than 25% of patients discharged with a new ADL or additional disability fail to recover their baseline functioning after one year, and UHAs reduces the likelihood of recovery from existing disabilities.³ For non-surgical hospitalizations, patients can also experience a decline in community mobility, and many show little evidence of recovery even after two years. Although functional decline following UHAs may be attributable to the initial cause of admission, aspects of the hospitalization experience itself, such as prolonged immobility and disorientation, can also contribute significantly.⁴ 

AI Presents an Opportunity

Predictive analytics present an opportunity to proactively identify individual patients at high risk for an UHA. This insight can support comprehensive care programs centered on reducing UHAs and may facilitate key intervention efforts. Leveraging AI can enable care teams to identify and address potential disconnects in the care continuum on an individual basis, improve transition planning, and provide additional support following planned procedures for high-risk patients. Armed with AI, providers are ultimately able to reduce UHAs, lower costs, and improve health outcomes.
