Anticipating health and care trajectories from routinely collected social care records
Predictive modelling in healthcare has advanced rapidly, yet social care systems, despite their central role in supporting vulnerable populations, remain underexplored in this domain. In this study, we apply machine learning to a large, pseudonymised dataset of social care records from 27,590 adults in Oxfordshire, encompassing around 90% of individuals receiving care in the region. We developed models to predict three outcomes of interest: future care plan needs, hospital admissions, and all-cause mortality, ev…
Models trained on routinely collected social care records predicted future hospital admissions and all-cause mortality with meaningful discriminative performance reaching AUROC 0.893.
Findings are based on a single region's social care system and care plan needs prediction remained variable, limiting generalizability and reliability for that outcome.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0935 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
