A multicenter adult inflammatory bowel disease learning health system (IBD Qorus) implemented clinical care process changes for reducing unplanned emergency department visits and hospitalizations using a Breakthrough Series Collaborative approach.
Using Markov decision models, we determined the health economic impact of participating in the Collaborative from the third-party payer perspective.
Across all 23 sites, participation in the Collaborative was associated with lower annual costs by an average of $2,528 ± $233 per patient when compared with the baseline period.
Implementing clinical care process changes using a Collaborative approach was associated with overall cost savings. Future work should examine which specific interventions are most effective and whether such cost savings are sustainable.
一个多中心成人炎症性肠病学习健康系统(IBD Qorus)采用突破系列协作方法实施了临床护理流程变革,以减少计划外急诊科就诊和住院情况。
我们使用马尔可夫决策模型,从第三方支付方的角度确定参与该协作的健康经济影响。
与基线期相比,在所有23个地点,参与该协作与每位患者平均每年成本降低2528美元±233美元相关。
采用协作方法实施临床护理流程变革与总体成本节约相关。未来的工作应研究哪些具体干预措施最有效,以及这种成本节约是否可持续。
