## Core Components

### 1. Population Health Pipeline

The main orchestration class that coordinates all population health activities.

```python
from population_health_core import PopulationHealthPipeline

# Initialize pipeline
pipeline = PopulationHealthPipeline(use_guardrails=True)

# Analyze single patient
analysis = pipeline.analyze_patient(
    patient_id, demographics, diagnoses,
    medications, encounters, lab_results
)

# Analyze population
population_analysis = pipeline.analyze_population(population_data)
```

**Features:**
- HIPAA-compliant patient analysis
- Automatic PHI de-identification
- Concurrent processing support
- Comprehensive audit logging

---

## Risk Stratification

### HCC (Hierarchical Condition Category) Model

The risk stratification engine uses CMS-HCC methodology to calculate patient risk scores.

#### Risk Calculation Components

1. **Base Score**: Starting point (1.0)
2. **Age-Sex Factor**: Demographic adjustment
3. **Diagnosis Score**: HCC category weights
4. **Utilization Factor**: Healthcare usage patterns

#### Risk Tiers

| Tier | Score Range | Description |
|------|-------------|-------------|
| Low | 0-20 | Healthy, minimal healthcare needs |
| Medium | 20-40 | Some chronic conditions |
| High | 40-60 | Multiple chronic conditions |
| Very High | 60-80 | Complex care needs |
| Catastrophic | 80-100 | Highest risk, intensive management |

#### Example Usage

```python
from population_health_core import RiskStratificationEngine

engine = RiskStratificationEngine()

risk_score = engine.calculate_hcc_risk(
    patient_id=patient_id,
    demographics=demographics,
    diagnoses=diagnoses,
    encounters=encounters
)

print(f"Risk Score: {risk_score.risk_score}")
print(f"Risk Tier: {risk_score.risk_tier.value}")
print(f"Projected Annual Cost: ${risk_score.projected_annual_cost:,.2f}")
```

#### HCC Categories (Sample)

| HCC | Weight | Condition |
|-----|--------|-----------|
| 85 | 3.021 | Congestive Heart Failure |
| 86 | 1.398 | Chronic Ischemic Heart Disease |
| 19 | 0.318 | Diabetes without Complication |
| 137 | 0.397 | Chronic Kidney Disease |

## Care Gaps Identification

### Supported Care Gap Types

1. **Preventive Screening**
   - Breast Cancer Screening (BCS)
   - Colorectal Cancer Screening (COL)
   - Cervical Cancer Screening

2. **Vaccination**
   - Annual Influenza
   - Pneumococcal (65+)
   - COVID-19 Boosters

3. **Chronic Disease Monitoring**
   - Diabetes: HbA1c, eye exams, foot exams
   - Hypertension: BP monitoring
   - Heart Failure: monitoring visits

4. **Medication Adherence**
   - < 80% adherence threshold
   - Automated intervention triggers

### Example Usage

```python
from population_health_core import CareGapsEngine

engine = CareGapsEngine()

gaps = engine.identify_gaps(
    patient_id=patient_id,
    demographics=demographics,
    diagnoses=diagnoses,
    medications=medications,
    encounters=encounters,
    lab_results=lab_results
)

for gap in gaps:
    print(f"Gap: {gap.measure_name}")
    print(f"  Type: {gap.gap_type.value}")
    print(f"  Priority: {gap.priority.value}")
    print(f"  Action: {gap.recommended_action}")
```

---

## Quality Measures

### HEDIS Quality Measures

Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) measures for quality tracking.

#### Example: Diabetes Care (CDC)

```python
from population_health_core import QualityMeasuresEngine

engine = QualityMeasuresEngine()

# Calculate for population
measures = engine.calculate_hedis_measures(population_data)

for measure in measures:
    print(f"Measure: {measure.measure_name}")
    print(f"  Performance: {measure.performance_rate:.1f}%")
    print(f"  Benchmark: {measure.benchmark_rate:.1f}%")
    print(f"  Gap: {measure.gap_to_benchmark:.1f}%")
```

### CMS Star Ratings

| Stars | Performance Range |
|-------|-------------------|
| 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | > 90% |
| 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | 75-90% |
| 3 ⭐⭐⭐ | 60-75% |
| 2 ⭐⭐ | 45-60% |
| 1 ⭐ | < 45% |

### MIPS/QPP Measures

Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) quality measures for provider reimbursement.

## Population Analytics

### Cohort Management

Automatic patient segmentation into clinical cohorts:

- **Diabetic Patients**: ICD-10 E11.x, E10.x
- **Hypertensive Patients**: ICD-10 I10
- **CHF Patients**: ICD-10 I50.x
- **COPD Patients**: ICD-10 J44.x
- **High Risk**: Risk score > 60
- **Frequent ED Utilizers**: > 3 ED visits/year
- **Readmission Risk**: Recent discharge + risk factors

### Population Metrics

```python
analysis = pipeline.analyze_population(population_data)

metrics = analysis['metrics']
print(f"Total Patients: {metrics['total_patients']}")
print(f"Average Risk Score: {metrics['average_risk_score']:.1f}")
print(f"Total Care Gaps: {metrics['total_care_gaps']}")
print(f"High Priority Interventions: {metrics['high_priority_interventions']}")

# Risk distribution
for tier, count in metrics['risk_distribution'].items():
    print(f"{tier}: {count} patients")
```

---

## HIPAA Compliance

### PHI Protection Features

1. **Automatic De-identification**
   - Patient ID hashing (SHA-256)
   - Removal of direct identifiers
   - Date shifting (preserves intervals)

2. **Audit Logging**
   - All analyses timestamped
   - User attribution
   - Data access tracking

3. **Encryption**
   - Data at rest: AES-256
   - Data in transit: TLS 1.3
   - Database encryption enabled

### Example: HIPAA-Compliant Analysis

```python
analysis = pipeline.analyze_patient(...)

# Verify HIPAA compliance
assert analysis['hipaa_compliant'] == True
assert analysis['phi_removed'] == True

# Patient ID is hashed
print(f"Patient ID Hash: {analysis['patient_id_hash']}")  # 16-char hash
```

## Usage Examples

### Example 1: Single Patient Analysis

```python
from population_health_core import (
    PopulationHealthPipeline,
    PatientDemographics, Diagnosis, Medication,
    HealthcareEncounter, LabResult
)
from datetime import date

# Initialize pipeline
pipeline = PopulationHealthPipeline(use_guardrails=True)

# Create patient data
demographics = PatientDemographics(
    patient_id="PATIENT-001",
    age=68,
    gender="M",
    date_of_birth=date(1956, 3, 15)
)

diagnoses = [
    Diagnosis("E11.9", "Type 2 Diabetes", date(2020, 1, 1), True, severity_weight=1.2),
    Diagnosis("I10", "Hypertension", date(2019, 6, 1), True),
    Diagnosis("I50.9", "Heart Failure", date(2021, 3, 1), True, severity_weight=1.8),
]

medications = [
    Medication("Metformin", "00093-7214", date(2020, 1, 1), True, adherence_rate=0.85),
]

encounters = [
    HealthcareEncounter("ENC001", "inpatient", date(2023, 6, 1), total_cost=25000),
]

lab_results = [
    LabResult("4548-4", "HbA1c", 8.2, "%", 4.0, 5.7, date(2024, 1, 10)),
]

# Analyze patient
analysis = pipeline.analyze_patient(
    patient_id="PATIENT-001",
    demographics=demographics,
    diagnoses=diagnoses,
    medications=medications,
    encounters=encounters,
    lab_results=lab_results
)

# Review results
print(f"Risk Score: {analysis['risk_assessment']['risk_score']:.1f}")
print(f"Care Gaps: {len(analysis['care_gaps'])}")
print(f"Interventions: {len(analysis['interventions'])}")
```

### Example 2: Population Analysis

```python
# Load population data
population_data = []
for patient_id in patient_ids:
    patient_data = load_patient_data(patient_id)  # Your data loader
    population_data.append(patient_data)

# Analyze population
analysis = pipeline.analyze_population(population_data)

# Review population metrics
metrics = analysis['metrics']
print(f"Population Size: {metrics['total_patients']}")
print(f"Average Risk: {metrics['average_risk_score']:.1f}")
print(f"Total Care Gaps: {metrics['total_care_gaps']}")

# Review quality measures
for measure in analysis['quality_measures']:
    print(f"{measure['measure_name']}: {measure['performance_rate']:.1f}%")

# Review cohorts
for cohort_name, patient_list in analysis['cohorts'].items():
    print(f"{cohort_name}: {len(patient_list)} patients")
```

### Example 3: Batch Processing

```python
import concurrent.futures

def process_patient(patient_data):
    return pipeline.analyze_patient(
        patient_data['patient_id'],
        patient_data['demographics'],
        patient_data['diagnoses'],
        patient_data['medications'],
        patient_data['encounters'],
        patient_data['lab_results']
    )

# Parallel processing
with concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=10) as executor:
    results = list(executor.map(process_patient, population_data))

print(f"Processed {len(results)} patients")
```
