As part of a project to develop a model procedure for returning residents of institutions to the community, the Commonwealth of Virginia contracted with a consulting firm to develop a methodology for conducting a cost-benefit analysis of institutional versus community living. The methodology was used to project costs and benefits over a ten-year period for 52 clients successfully placed in the community through the project, called Service Integration for Deinstitutionalization (SID). The results showed an average net saving for each client of $20,800 over a ten-year period, mostly to the state government. The authors describe the methodology used in the analysis, the cost and benefit elements considered, and the adjustments made for economic factors that could not be measured directly.
作为一项为机构居民重返社区制定标准程序的项目的一部分，弗吉尼亚联邦政府与一家咨询公司签约，以制定一种方法来对机构生活与社区生活进行成本效益分析。该方法用于预测通过名为“去机构化服务整合”（SID）的项目成功安置到社区的52名客户在十年期间的成本和收益。结果显示，在十年期间，每位客户平均净节省20,800美元，大部分节省归州政府所有。作者描述了分析中使用的方法、考虑的成本和收益要素，以及对无法直接衡量的经济因素所做的调整。
